THERE IS NO INJURY: Raphinha only suffered a 'scare' against Dortmund and is now training normally

One issue that worried the Barcelona fans was the incident that occurred during the match between Borussia Dortmund and FC Barcelona, a celebration by the Barça team that ended with a 2-3 scoreline, with Ferran Torres shining with a brace. Of particular concern was the apparent incident involving Raphinha, who left the field in the 71st minute due to what seemed to be an injury.

During this phase of the match, Raphinha showed signs of discomfort on the field and was seen lying on the grass, holding his left leg with gestures of distress.

This situation created uncertainty, which Hansi Flick tried to clarify in the post-match press conference, stating that the Porto Alegre native forward was simply tired, which somewhat relieved the tension surrounding the '11' player. However, the expectation for an official medical report to definitively address any speculation persisted.

No injury! Raphinha trained normally this Thursday

Finally, it was confirmed that Raphinha is in optimal physical condition to continue being a decisive player for FC Barcelona. The forward participated in the recovery training session conducted by the Catalan team at Borussia Dortmund's Sports City in Brackel before beginning the journey back to Barcelona (1:00 p.m.).

'Rapha' completed this session of exercises in the gym, as is customary for starting players who have played a significant number of minutes, without any issues.

At this point, Raphinha, who typically operates at maximum physical capacity in every match played with Barcelona, it's common for him to end up completely exhausted. Therefore, after a light workout session, it's usual that he can participate in Friday's training without any problems, preparing for the match on Sunday, December 15th, against CD Leganés in LaLiga EA Sports. This is particularly important after the Medical Staff confirmed that he is fit to play against the 'pepinero' team.
