"All four players will be out of action until at least after the international break, meaning they will miss Sunday's game against Real Sociedad, the Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain next Wednesday and the trip to Sevilla on Oct. 5. On a more positive note, both Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde trained on Friday and could return from their respective injuries against Real Sociedad this weekend."
"Raphinha picked up the injury in Thursday's 3-1 win over Real Oviedo when he had to be taken off in the second half. The forward will miss Barça's next three games and Brazil's friendlies against South Korea and Japan next month, with the LaLiga fixture against Girona on Oct. 18 -- a week before the Clásico against Real Madrid -- an early target for his comeback."
Barcelona face multiple injuries with Raphinha sidelined for three weeks with a hamstring problem and goalkeeper Joan García out up to six weeks with a ruptured medial meniscus. Gavi remains ruled out for five months and Fermín López will miss three weeks with a muscle problem. All four will be unavailable until after the international break, causing them to miss matches against Real Sociedad, Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla. Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde trained and could return against Real Sociedad. Marcus Rashford will receive extended opportunities on the left while Wojciech Szczesny is expected to deputize in goal.
