Raphinha Continues to Miss Barcelona Training
Brazilian player Raphinha, Barcelona's winger, continues to miss the team's group training due to suffering from an overload in the adductor muscle of the right leg. The technical staff prefers not to risk his return before a full recovery, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo.'
The newspaper clarified that Raphinha did not participate in Barcelona's training, which was held in preparation for the match against Mallorca scheduled for next Saturday, suggesting his absence from the match that will take place at 5:15 PM Egypt time. His potential return is expected during the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, after the opponent is determined in the draw on Friday.
The Brazilian player also missed Barcelona's match against Albacete in the Copa del Rey due to the same injury. Coach Hans Flick emphasized the need to handle his return cautiously, especially given his multiple physical issues this season, in addition to his influential role in the team's plans.
In the same context, the newspaper pointed out the continued absence of Pedri, Andreas Christensen, and Gavi, who is nearing the final stage of his recovery program, with the possibility of gradually integrating into training in the coming weeks, without rushing his return to official matches.
On another note, the newspaper confirmed that Ronald Araújo trained normally after being substituted as a precaution in the Albacete match due to muscle cramps, and he is expected to be ready for the Mallorca match. Meanwhile, Frenkie de Jong and Gerard Martin remain at risk of suspension, which could affect Hans Flick's lineup choices.
Barcelona is scheduled to conduct their final training before the Mallorca match tomorrow at 12 PM Egypt time, followed by coach Hans Flick's press conference at 2 PM to discuss the latest preparations for the match.
