The Catalan newspaper 'Sport' revealed a sense of optimism within FC Barcelona regarding the physical condition of Brazilian winger Rafinha, who has already entered the final stage of his recovery process from an injury he has been suffering from for several weeks.

According to the newspaper, it is expected that the player will gradually start integrating into group training this week, in preparation for his full return to competitive action.

Although the possibility of Rafinha traveling with the team to face Celta Vigo next Sunday is not ruled out, the club prefers to avoid any risks and give him more time to ensure a complete recovery.

Rafinha was expected to participate in the recent Clasico against Real Madrid in the tenth round of La Liga, but he was unable to recover in time, and he will also miss the match against Club Brugge tomorrow in the UEFA Champions League.

Rafinha's anticipated return is considered a strong boost for Hans Flick, especially given the numerous injuries the Catalan team is currently facing.
