Why Hansi Flick has benched Raphinha for Barcelona against Real Betis
"Raphinha is a substitute due to a right adductor strain. It's the same leg that suffered the biceps femoris injury, which has recurred twice. Every precaution is necessary."
"I hope we can maintain the same level as the other day against a great team and get three points. We know how Betis plays, but the important thing is to focus on our own game. Roony is showing in training how good he is; he deserves to play. Raphinha is fine, but we have to be careful with him because the match against Atlético was very intense for everyone, especially for Raphinha."
Barcelona named Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghj in the starting lineup while Raphinha was moved to the bench. Raphinha is out because of a right adductor strain on the same leg that previously suffered a biceps femoris injury, which has recurred twice, prompting caution. Flick emphasized maintaining recent performance levels and focusing on Barcelona's own game against Betis. Flick praised Roony's training form as justification for his start. Flick confirmed Raphinha is fine but requires careful management after an intense match against Atlético. Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League follows a congested schedule.
