LaLiga: Barcelona Suffer Major Injury Blow Ahead of Real Madrid Clash

Raphinha and five other key players will miss the El Clásico after injury setbacks, weakening Barcelona’s squad for the crucial LaLiga match, sources said.

  • On Oct 24, 2025, Barcelona confirmed Raphinha will miss Sunday's El Clásico at the Bernabéu after a hamstring setback during Friday's training.
  • After a hamstring knock in Real Oviedo earlier this season, Raphinha had returned to training this week and was expected to be on the substitutes' bench at Bernabéu stadium before the setback.
  • In addition to Raphinha's absence, several first-team players will miss the Madrid game, and Hansi Flick cannot watch from the touchline, with Marcus Sorg filling in.
  • With LaLiga's summit on the line, the first Clásico pits LaLiga's top two teams with Real Madrid two points clear of Barcelona, framing Flick's biggest test of the season.
  • Club sources warn there is no exact timeframe for Raphinha's return and he may not feature again before the international break, after being out for a month.
