"Raphinha played very well, then he had a problem at the end of the first half and we had to change it. He was a little worried by a muscle injury and I think they are going to evaluate him tomorrow."
"Despite that, Ancelotti is not too concerned, adding: 'Raphinha had good movements without the ball and Vini is always dangerous. I'm satisfied with the game because the team competed, fought with good moves... We don't have to be happy with the result.'"
"Much of the build-up to the game centred around the absence of Neymar, who was not called up with Ancelotti still not convinced by the forward's physical state."
Raphinha will undergo tests to assess the severity of a thigh injury sustained while playing for Brazil against France. He did not play in the second half of the match, which ended in a 2-1 defeat. Despite a challenging season with injuries, Raphinha has contributed significantly to Barcelona with 19 goals and seven assists in 31 appearances. His participation in Brazil's next game against Croatia is doubtful, and Barcelona hopes he will be fit for their upcoming match against Atletico Madrid.
