FC Barcelona await Raphinha and Juan's status ahead of Getafe clash

Barcelona are monitoring the situation of Raphinha and Juan García ahead of their match against Getafe, as neither has participated in team training so far, prompting the coaching staff led by Hans Flick to proceed with caution regarding their return.

According to "Mundo Deportivo", the players have undergone individual training again, while Flick is considering starting them in the match against Getafe, scheduled for next Saturday in the eighth round of LaLiga.

Juan García missed the match against Sevilla on September 19 due to mild swelling in his right knee, which did not affect the meniscus. Since then, he has been continuing to work individually alongside physiotherapy.

Raphinha suffered from swelling in his right thigh during Brazil's friendly match against Australia on September 29, forcing him to return early to FC Barcelona and miss the match against India. Tests confirmed there was no injury, but he has not yet joined the group training.

The coaching staff may rest the duo against Getafe, especially with a series of tough matches ahead against Galatasaray, Real Betis, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid, along with Alavés, Aston Villa, and Atlético.

Raphinha's condition is being closely monitored, as the area of swelling is the same where he suffered two previous injuries. Additionally, he is FC Barcelona's top scorer this season with 12 goals.
