Raphinha suffered a muscle injury after being substituted around the 65th minute against Real Oviedo and was initially given a recovery timeline of roughly three weeks. A minor relapse extended the absence to over six weeks, prompting a cautious approach from the club's medical staff. Recent progress has been positive and the winger is entering the final phase of recovery. He is expected to begin partial group training later this week. He will not be rushed back, will miss the Champions League tie with Club Brugge, and may be considered for the La Liga match against Celta Vigo if fully fit.
