Barcelona: Raphinha 'still not 100%' as Atletico semi-final looms
"Barcelona star Raphinha is still not 100 percent recovered from a thigh issue that has kept him out of the last two games. Raphinha missed the Copa del Rey win over Albacete and Saturday's 3-0 victory against Mallorca with the injury. LaLiga leaders Barca visit Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Copa semi-finals on Thursday, and Raphinha's availability is still very much up in the air."
"I am better, but not at 100 per cent. We are taking it day by day. There are options to make it on Thursday, but I still do not know. If I am well, I will play, but we have to wait."
"Raphinha has scored 13 goals and provided five assists in all competitions for Barca this season."
Raphinha remains not fully recovered from a thigh issue that sidelined him for the Copa del Rey win over Albacete and the 3-0 LaLiga victory over Mallorca. Barcelona travel to Atletico Madrid for the first leg of the Copa semi-finals on Thursday, and his participation is uncertain. He reported gradual improvement and said the situation is being assessed day by day, with a chance to feature if fully fit. Raphinha has contributed 13 goals and five assists across all competitions this season, making his potential absence significant for Barcelona's attacking options. Medical staff will monitor him ahead of the match.
