Raphinha Leaves Brazil Camp Due to Injury as Barcelona Confirms His Recovery Timeline

The Brazilian Football Confederation announced today that winger Raphinha has withdrawn from the national team’s training camp after sustaining a muscle injury during the friendly match against France, part of Brazil’s preparations for upcoming international competitions.

In its statement, the federation explained that the player felt pain in his right hamstring during the match and subsequently underwent medical tests that confirmed the injury. As a result, head coach Carlo Ancelotti decided to release him from the camp and send him back to Barcelona for further examinations and treatment.

Barcelona Confirms the Injury and Sets the Recovery Period

In a separate statement, FC Barcelona confirmed that Raphinha has suffered a muscle injury that will keep him out of action for five weeks. This means he will miss several crucial matches in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, including the clash against Atlético Madrid, the Catalan derby against Espanyol, and the Champions League quarter‑final fixtures.

This latest setback adds to Barcelona’s growing concerns, especially since the player has suffered similar injuries earlier in the season, raising fears within the club about recurring problems in the same muscle area.
