Raphinha - Page 2 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Misses finale due to rest Raphinha (undisclosed) was out for the season finale due to caution after a season of taxing injuries, according to Xavier Munoz of Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Raphinha was already thought to have missed the season finale due to rest as he prepares for the World Cup, and that claim is true, not being risked after a few injuries throughout the club season. This is a good sign for the player and Brazil, as he will be a key piece of the team if they want to find success in the tournament. He is lined up to start immediately, with that claim further backed up after any injury concerns were waved off, recording 16 goals and five assists in 29 appearances (24 starts) this season between UCL play and La Liga play. If this play continues, he could be in for a solid tournament, even a decent shout for a Golden boot depending on how far his team makes it.

Not in squad for finale Raphinha has been left out of Barcelona's squad for Saturday's season finale against Valencia.

Impact Raphinha's surprising omission came with no further detail, but rest ahead of Brazil's World Cup duties in a non-important league game is the most plausible reason. It marks the end of an injury-hit season that forced him to sit out 15 league matches and six Champions League games, including both legs of the quarter-finals against Atletico Madrid. Nevertheless, he remained effective when fit, registering 13 goals and three assists in 18 league starts alongside three goals and two assists in six UCL outings. Roony Bardghji is expected to return to the starting lineup and feature on the right, as Raphinha now looks ahead to Brazil's World Cup campaign.

Nets brace Raphinha scored two goals to go with five shots (four on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 3-1 victory against Betis.

Impact Raphinha was excellent during Sunday's win, he took five shots and scored two of them while causing a plethora of issues for the Betis backline throughout. The winger was a threat constantly and kept causing issues for the defense. Raphinha is an elite attacking option any time he starts, and has brilliant upside as a finisher and creator.

Back from ban Raphinha has served his one-game La Liga suspension and is consequently eligible for upcoming games.

Impact Raphinha just recently returned from a five-week absence due to the hamstring injury he sustained in March, logging 26 minutes on the field against Real Madrid on May 10. After the extra rest he got with the suspension, the star winger could aim to regain a starting role for the final couple of matches before the World Cup, although he'll just try to build some form given that his team has already secured the league title and has little else to play for. At least one among Roony Bardghji and Marcus Rashford will likely drop to a substitute spot to make way for Raphinha in future contests.

Picks up suspension Raphinha will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in La Liga.

Impact Raphinha picked up his fifth yellow card in La Liga and will be sidelined for Wednesday's matchup against Alaves due to suspension. The playmaker has logged just 26 minutes off the bench against Real Madrid since returning from his long term hamstring injury, so his absence should have minimal impact with the Blaugranas already crowned Champions. Fermin or Marcus Rashford are in line to get the start on the left wing for that clash.

Returns to bench Raphinha (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Osasuna.

Impact Raphinha has been included in the travelling squad after returning to team training on Wednesday, with coach Flick's careful wording translating into a bench role in line with the cautious approach the medical staff have maintained throughout his recovery from the biceps femoris injury suffered with Brazil in late March. The Brazilian captain has been the cornerstone of the Blaugranas' attack this season, scoring 11 goals and delivering three assists in La Liga, and getting even a few minutes from their leading attacker is a welcome development ahead of a fixture where Barcelona could virtually seal the title. His return to the starting lineup is expected to follow imminently once the medical staff are fully satisfied his injury history poses no further risk.

Impact Raphinha had returned to team training Wednesday after the biceps femoris injury he suffered with Brazil in late March, and his inclusion in the travelling squad is a significant boost for Barcelona heading into a fixture where they could virtually seal the La Liga title. The club's medical staff have been especially cautious throughout his recovery given his injury history this season, and coach Flick's careful wording suggests a bench role is the most likely scenario rather than an immediate return to the starting lineup. Getting even a few minutes from their captain and leading attacker would be a welcome development for the Blaugranas.

Impact Raphinha suffered the biceps femoris injury in his right leg during Brazil's friendly against France in late March, with an initial five-week timeline that is set to expire in the coming days. The club's medical staff have been especially cautious given his injury history this season, having already dealt with two hamstring setbacks earlier in the campaign, but the direction is now firmly pointing toward a return at El Sadar. Getting him back for a fixture where Barcelona could virtually seal the La Liga title is a timely boost for coach Hansi Flick, who has been managing thin attacking options since the winger's absence began.

Impact Raphinha picked up a hamstring issue with Brazil over the international break and was initially given a five-week recovery timeline, but Barcelona are clearly pushing to get their top attacking weapon back as soon as possible with depth running thin up front. The Getafe match is coming too early, with Osasuna shaping up as the more realistic spot for a controlled return ahead of the biggest game of the season. Coach Hansi Flick is reportedly uneasy about the lack of attacking depth after leaning heavily on Raphinha's 11 goals and three assists over his last 18 club appearances in La Liga and European play prior to the injury, leaving Ferran Torres, Fermin and Marcus Rashford as the main options to carry the load until he's back at full speed.
