The issue, which was expected to keep him out for around five weeks, has been a significant blow for Hansi Flick\u2019s side during the crucial final stretch of the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The 29-year-old has been a standout performer for Barcelona this campaign, delivering consistent goals, assists, and high-intensity performances on the wing. His leadership qualities have also earned him the role of one of the team\u2019s captains, making his return even more valuable as Bar\u00e7a push for silverware in La Liga and other competitions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Flick\u2019s comments signal a cautious but optimistic approach. While Raphinha will travel with the squad, the coaching staff will assess his fitness before deciding on his involvement in the match. This measured return is aimed at preventing any relapse and ensuring the Brazilian is sharp for high-stakes games, including a potential <strong>El Cl\u00e1sico<\/strong> clash against Real Madrid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has delivered positive updates on Raphinha\u2019s recovery from his recent injury, confirming that the Brazilian\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":51057,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[564],"class_list":["post-51056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-hansi-flick"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51056"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51056\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51059,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51056\/revisions\/51059"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
