Major Blow for FC Barcelona: Raphinha out for up to 5 weeks
Raphinha is set for a spell on the sidelines after FC Barcelona confirmed the winger will be out for a minimum of four weeks, possibly stretching to five, due to a muscle injury.
The timing is a huge setback for Barça as they enter a decisive phase of both domestic and European competitions.
The Brazilian forward is now expected to miss key fixtures, including clashes against Atlético Madrid in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, as well as league games versus Espanyol, Celta Vigo, Getafe, and Osasuna.
He also remains a doubt for potential Champions League semi-final matches.
His absence leaves a noticeable gap in Barcelona’s attacking setup, with the team now needing to adjust quickly as they chase success on multiple fronts.
Fans will be hoping for a swift recovery, but for now, Barça must navigate a tough run of games without one of their key attacking threats.
