Barcelona forward Raphinha has offered fans a little injury update after being ruled out of Tuesday’s Copa del Rey quarter-final tie with Albacete
.Raphinha has been diagnosed with an overload and is expected
to be sidelined for a week. Hansi Flick has spoken of his frustration at losing Raphinha again, but the Brazilian says he’ll be back soon for Barca.
“I’m fine. I’m a little tired, but I’m okay. In theory, it will be a short time, and I’ll try to recover as quickly as possible. I’ve always tried to give my best,” he told Mundo Deportivo.
Raphinha is also expected to sit out the weekend’s La Liga game against Real Mallorca in what will be a further blow to Flick.
The Brazilian has suffered a few injury problems this season but has still been in great form, scoring 13 goals and bagging five assists in 22 outings in all competitions.
