"Leading up to the match on Wednesday, AS reports that Barcelona have received positive news at the Ciutat Esportiva. Raphinha trained with the group during the morning recovery session and will be available for the Champions League encounter in Prague. The Brazilian international did not travel to San Sebastian at the weekend to face Real Sociedad due to a heavy blow to his right leg."
"The Brazilian international did not travel to San Sebastian at the weekend to face Real Sociedad due to a heavy blow to his right leg. Raphinha's absence proved costly, as Barcelona saw their run of 11 consecutive victories come to an end at the Reale Arena. But the good news is that the former Leeds United winger has now fully recovered and is set to play a key role as Barcelona aim to finish among the top eight and avoid the play-off round."
Barcelona lost 2-1 to Real Sociedad, ending an 11-match winning run. The team travels to the Fortuna Arena in Prague for a Champions League group match against Slavia Prague. Raphinha trained with the group and is available after recovering from a heavy blow to his right leg that ruled him out at the weekend. His return matters because Lamine Yamal is suspended for accumulated yellow cards. Barcelona must win their next two matches, against Slavia Prague and FC Copenhagen, and hope rivals drop points to finish among the top eight and avoid the play-off round. Raphinha has 11 goals and five assists in 18 matches this season.
