Raphinha to Miss Champions League Quarters Due to Injury
Raphinha, a 29-year-old player for Barcelona, will be sidelined for the UEFA Champions League quarter-final matches against Atletico Madrid due to a hamstring injury he suffered while on international duty with Brazil. The injury occurred on Thursday in Foxborough, and Barcelona has announced that he will begin appropriate treatment.
The estimated recovery time for Raphinha is five weeks, which means he will miss the first leg of the quarter-final on April 8 and the return leg in Madrid on April 14. This season, Raphinha has scored 19 goals across all competitions for Barcelona.
Currently, Barcelona is four points clear of Real Madrid in La Liga.
