Barcelona forward Raphinha has spoken about his current fitness status and recovery from an injury that sidelined him for over a month.

The attacker pointed out that although he has recently played for Brazil's national team, he has not yet reached full sharpness. He is focused on preparing to arrive at the national team in the best physical and tactical condition possible.

Raphinha emphasized that he consistently worked during his treatment and recovery at the club to be 100% ready for international duties. His recent appearance against Egypt, where he provided an assist, helped him regain match rhythm.

He acknowledged that the past season was hampered by recurring muscle issues that limited his continuity and impact on the field. Despite these challenges, he remains motivated to contribute to Brazil's performance in the upcoming World Cup.

"The goal is one — to win the World Cup," Raphinha stated, emphasizing the team's determination and his personal ambition to succeed at the global stage.
