Raphinha Out for Five Weeks Due to Hamstring Injury

Raphinha, a 29-year-old forward for Barcelona, has sustained a right leg hamstring injury while playing for the Brazil National Team, which will keep him out of action for approximately five weeks. As a result, he will miss up to eight matches for Barcelona, including significant fixtures such as La Liga matches against Atlético Madrid, Espanyol, Celta Vigo, and Osasuna, as well as potential Champions League semi-final matches.

This injury follows Brazil's 2-1 defeat to France in a friendly, where Raphinha was part of the squad. His absence will be felt as Barcelona navigates crucial matches in both domestic and European competitions.
