Raphinha sidelined for Barcelona's next two matches with a right thigh injury sustained during Brazil duty; Flick says it's not serious but requires careful management.
Raphinha has withdrawn from Barcelona's squad after sustaining a right thigh injury during Brazil's international match against Australia, where he was substituted at half-time. Barcelona manager Hansi Flick confirmed the injury is not serious but requires caution given Raphinha's history of three injuries last season. The 29-year-old will miss the club's next two fixtures during a demanding run that includes Champions League and La Liga matches against Paris St-Germain and Real Madrid this month.
