'It's outrageous' - Joan Laporta hits out after Barcelona lose Raphinha to injury
""It's really frustrating when one of your best players gets injured in a friendly," he told Mon Esport. "You can't shift the blame onto the player because he's a professional, and he plays for his country and is obligated to give his all.""
""It's outrageous that FIFA sets such tight schedules and doesn't take official competitions into account.""
Raphinha will miss crucial La Liga and Champions League matches for Barcelona due to injury sustained during a friendly. Laporta expressed frustration over FIFA's tight scheduling, emphasizing that players are professionals obligated to perform for their national teams. The injury is a significant setback for Hansi Flick's team as they pursue trophies. There is hope that Raphinha will recover in time to participate in the final matches of the season, potentially returning for El Clasico in May.
