"Barcelona were handed a fitness boost on Tuesday as Raphinha was finally back in training with the first team after a lengthy spell out due to injury. Hansi Flick has been without his Brazilian star since September, but he will hopefully be able to call upon his services very soon. Barcelona showed off a very happy looking Raphinha back in training on their Instagram page and also included some footage of the forward doing some work with the ball."
"Raphinha's return will be warmly welcomed by Hansi Flick as he's certainly been missed, even though Marcus Rashford has been posting some impressive numbers in his absence. It is hoped he will be passed fit in time for Saturday's match against Athletic Club, with Joan Garcia and Lamine Yamal also expected to be available for Barca's first game back at Camp Nou."
