FC Barcelona is anticipating the return of their Brazilian player Raphinha in the coming hours, after he was granted permission to travel to Brazil for a short period with his family, following an injury to his right hamstring sustained during a friendly match against the French national team.

According to medical reports, the team's winger is expected to be out for up to five weeks, which means he has an additional period of about a month to complete his rehabilitation program before returning to competitions.

The coaching staff, led by Flick, is working on preparing the player to join the Clasico match against Real Madrid, scheduled for May 10 at Spotify Camp Nou. This match could be decisive in the race for the Spanish league title if the team continues to achieve positive results.

Raphinha is considered one of the leading figures within the team, making his absence impactful during this crucial stage. However, his anticipated return could provide a significant boost for Barcelona, especially with important matches approaching, most notably the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Atlético Madrid, as well as the league derby against Espanyol.
