Hansi Flick has confirmed the availability of Raphinha ahead of Barcelona’s La Liga clash against Girona FC., Softfootball reports.
According to Status report from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on his official X account, the Brazilian winger has fully recovered from his recent muscle injury and is back in contention after weeks on the sidelines.
Romano updated that:
Raphinha has recovered from his injury and will be available against Girona, confirms Hansi Flick.
Raphinha’s return to training after weeks on the sidelines with an adductor injury represents a significant boost for FC Barcelona, who have struggled for attacking sharpness in his absence.
The winger has been instrumental this season, contributing 12 goals and eight assists in the 2025–26 campaign. His dynamism, direct running, and creativity have made him a key figure in Barça’s attacking structure.
Statistics further underline his importance. In all six matches Barcelona have lost this season, Raphinha was unavailable including the heavy 4–0 defeat to Atlético Madrid in the Copa del Rey. His absence during those setbacks exposed a lack of cutting edge in the final third.
Now fully reintegrated into training following recovery, Raphinha’s return arrives at a crucial stage of the season as Barcelona push for consistency.
