Raphinha provides update on thigh injury


The Brazil forward has missed the last two games.

Barcelona star Raphinha is still not 100 percent recovered from a thigh issue that has kept him out of the last two games.

Raphinha missed the Copa del Rey win over Albacete and Saturday’s 3-0 victory against Mallorca with the injury.

LaLiga leaders Barca visit Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Copa semi-finals on Thursday, and Raphinha’s availability is still very much up in the air.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, the Brazilian said: “I am better, but not at 100 per cent.

“We are taking it day by day. There are options to make it on Thursday, but I still do not know. If I am well, I will play, but we have to wait.”

Raphinha has scored 13 goals and provided five assists in all competitions for Barca this season.
