Barca Skipper Raphinha Out Against Getafe and Galatasaray
Hansi Flick said the winger is not seriously injured, but Barcelona will rest him after three injuries last season.
- On Friday, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick confirmed forward Raphinha will miss the club's next two matches due to a hamstring issue, opting to rest the 29-year-old to prevent recurring fitness problems.
- Flick expressed frustration with the demanding schedule after Raphinha sustained the knock during a friendly in Australia, emphasizing caution to avoid repeating previous injury struggles from Brazil and World Cup play.
- Repositioned as a centre-forward this season, Raphinha has excelled for Barcelona, as the Brazilian currently leads Europe's main leagues with 14 goals across eight matches.
- Consequently, Raphinha will sit out tomorrow's La Liga match against Getafe and will be unavailable for Tuesday's Champions League fixture against Galatasaray in Istanbul.
- Barcelona remains unbeaten and sits atop the La Liga table, five points ahead of Atletico Madrid, as the club aims to avoid a repeat of last season's quarter-final Champions League exit.
