"According to Javi Miguel of AS, Hansi Flick will be able to recover one of his most important players, Raphinha, for the Catalan derby on Monday. The Brazilian international returned to the grass this Friday to complete part of the session with the substitutes, a first step towards training with the full group on Saturday. The Brazilian suffered a muscular overload against Elche, which prevented him from playing the second half of that game, with an initial prognosis of one week out."
"However, his recovery did not progress as expected, and his return was ultimately delayed. As a result, he missed the Copa del Rey fixtures against Albacete and Atletico Madrid, as well as the league match against Mallorca in between. But Raphinha is set to return for the game against Girona, with medical clearance expected on Monday, so that he can travel to Estadi Montilivi."
FC Barcelona suffered a 4-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg. The team faces Girona in the Catalan derby on Monday. Raphinha is expected to return after completing part of a training session and progressing from a muscular overload suffered against Elche; medical clearance is expected on Monday to allow him to travel to Estadi Montilivi. Marcus Rashford remains uncertain after a left knee concern following an awkward movement against Mallorca and missed the Atletico match. Pedri, Gavi and Andreas Christensen are ruled out, with Pedri expected back against Levante on 22 February.
