⚠️ AS: Raphinha, hamstring knock, tests today

The newspaper AS has just revealed more details about Raphinha's injury. According to Javi Miguel, the FC Barcelona Brazilian has suffered a twinge in the biceps femoris of his right leg, an area that already kept him out for two months at the start of this season.

The Brazilian winger had to be substituted at halftime in the match against France after feeling clear discomfort. Although the national team's medical staff acted quickly, concern within the Catalan club is at its highest due to his recent medical history.

Carlo Ancelotti, in the post-match press conference, confirmed the attacker's situation: "He felt a little discomfort in the muscle and I think they’re going to assess him tomorrow". These words have put Barça's medical staff on alert, and they are already waiting for the player at the training ground.

In the coming hours, Raphinha will undergo thorough tests to determine the exact extent of the issue. The aim of the examinations is to establish whether there is a muscle tear or whether it is simply a strain caused by overload.

The Brazilian's absence would come at a crucial stage of the calendar for Hansi Flick's team. Losing one of their most explosive players would be a significant tactical setback, especially considering his dribbling ability and defensive work rate.
