"Barcelona and Hansi Flick have been hit with more bad injury news ahead of El Clasico on Sunday at the Santiago Bernabeu. Raphinha had returned to training and been expected to be passed fit in time for the game but has reportedly suffered some kind of setback. According to multiple reports, Raphinha did not train on Friday and it seems unlikely now that he will be able to play against Real Madrid."
"The Brazilian has missed Barcelona's last five games due to injury and appears set for more time on the sidelines in what is a really frustrating development. Raphinha's absence means that the onus will be on Lamine Yamal, Marcus Rashford, Ferran Torres and Roony Bardghji to find the goals in the Spanish capital. As for Raphinha, he is set to undergo more tests and we may get an update on his progress tomorrow when Barcelona hold a pre-match press conference ahead of the match."
