Rashford and Raphinha Absent from Barcelona Training Ahead of Atletico Madrid Clash
The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that the duo Raphinha and Marcus Rashford did not participate in Barcelona's training in preparation for facing Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Spanish King's Cup semi-final scheduled for tomorrow at the Metropolitano Stadium at 10 PM Cairo time.
The report indicated that Raphinha underwent special training in the gym with the aim of recovering and returning to matches, focusing on the upcoming league match against Girona on Monday, February 16. It was emphasized that his condition is not ideal and his participation as a starter is uncertain.
Raphinha missed the matches against Albacete and Mallorca due to a strain in the inner muscle of his right thigh. The club indicated a 10-day absence, but this coincides with the day of the Rojiblancos match, and his recovery is still slower than expected.
The report mentioned that coach Hans Flick called up a number of young players, including Tommy Marquez, who made his debut against Mallorca, customary third goalkeeper Koshin, Geoffrey Torrents, and Juan Hernandez, as part of the team's preparations for the upcoming match.
