Raphinha's status for the match against Betis
German coach Hans Flick is planning to gradually reintroduce Brazilian Raphinha by giving him between 15 and 20 minutes during the match against Real Betis, scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, as part of the ninth round of LaLiga.
Flick is working to physically prepare Raphinha appropriately, while avoiding rushing him into long periods of play, as part of a plan aimed at restoring the player's full readiness after a period of absence from participation.
The German coach has called up Raphinha to FC Barcelona's squad for the match against Real Betis, in a move that paves the way for his return to match action, with anticipation regarding the extent of his participation during the match depending on the course of events and his physical condition.
Flick's main goal is to prepare the Brazilian star to start against Paris Saint-Germain next Tuesday in the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.
