Raphinha’s injury is currently the cause for great concern at Barcelona amid fears the Brazilian has sustained another hamstring injury and is set for a spell out.
A new update from Brazil claims that Raphinha “was already undergoing treatment before the game in Boston due to fatigue” and was taken off at half-time against France to “avoid greater risks.”
Raphinha is due to undergo tests today to determine the problem, with Globo reporting that he’s likely to miss Brazil’s next game against Croatia.
If an injury is found then Raphinha will obviously head straight back to Barcelona for treatment.
Should the report prove accurate then it will prompt the question as to why Raphinha started the friendly match if he was suffering from fatigue and requiring treatment.
Raphinha’s already been sidelined on several occasions this season with hamstring issues, and the last thing Barcelona and Brazil want right now is for him to pick up another problem.
