Raphinha is close to completing his rehabilitation process from a hamstring injury that disrupted his previous season.
The club agreed on a separate return date with the player, later than the team’s official July 13 training start, allowing him to rest physically and mentally after a demanding season.
The injury occurred on September 26, 2025, causing Raphinha to miss 26 matches for both club and country, including Brazil’s Round of 16 World Cup 2026 match, where he was on the bench but did not play.
Barcelona’s aim is for the winger to return in good physical condition and ready to compete from the start of the 2026/27 campaign under coach Hansi Flick.
