‎Barcelona learn extent of Raphinha injury after Brazil scare

Raphinha could be available for Barcelona’s next match against Getafe on October 10 despite picking up a thigh injury earlier this week.

‎The winger was substituted at the interval of Brazil’s international friendly with Australia, a move that raised eyebrows at Camp Nou. 

‎Initial examinations from Brazil ruled out a serious problem, with the forward instead allegedly suffering an impact injury which caused some swelling.

‎Barcelona have now conducted their own examinations on Friday.

‎According to Mundo Deportivo, the La Liga champions have received good news when it comes to the attacker’s fitness.

‎The report claims that ‘the results were positive’, with Raphinha set to be available for selection in the league game against Getafe on October 10.

‎Raphinha has had an incredible start to the season for Barcelona, scoring 14 goals and registering three assists in eight appearances.

‎His absence would have been a huge blow for Hansi Flicks’ side.

‎Raphinha had four separate issues with his right thigh during the 2025-26 campaign, with his longest absence proving to be between September 2025 and November 2025.

‎The Brazilian has flourished in his new role this season, having been played has a number nine rather than his usual left wing.

‎He will now be eager to continue his good form as Barcelona take on all of Getafe, Galatasaray, Real Betis, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid before the end of October.
