Barcelona’s attacking force, Raphinha, will be sidelined for a week after sustaining a right leg injury during Saturday’s 3-1 victory over Elche. The Brazilian winger, who had to leave the pitch at halftime, has been managing an overload in his adductor muscle.
This season, the 29-year-old has been a key contributor for the LaLiga leaders, netting eight goals and assisting three. The club confirmed he will miss Tuesday’s Copa del Rey quarter-final against Albacete, but his recovery is expected to be swift.
Barcelona, chasing their third league title in four years, currently sit just one point ahead of Real Madrid, making every player’s availability crucial for the title race.
