FC Barcelona has received one of the worst pieces of news of the season after confirming the injury of Raphinha, who is expected to be sidelined for around five weeks. The Brazilian suffered a muscle problem in his right thigh during a match with his national team, ruling him out of key fixtures.
The timing could not be worse: the Catalan side will be without one of its most dynamic players for the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, where they are set to face Atlético de Madrid. This situation is seen as an advantage for the team led by Diego Simeone, which now approaches the tie with greater optimism.
In addition to the Champions League, Raphinha is also expected to miss several important league matches, forcing the coaching staff to reshape the attack during a crucial stretch of the season.
The blow impacts not only performance but also team morale, as Barcelona loses a key figure at a critical moment.
How long will Raphinha be out and which matches will he miss?
The Brazilian is expected to be sidelined for about five weeks, causing him to miss the Champions League quarterfinals and several important league matches, significantly affecting Barcelona during the final stretch of the season.
