FC Barcelona returned to the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium for Matchday 7 of La Liga against Real Sociedad, but one name was notably absent from the lineup. The omission of star forward Raphinha immediately drew attention from fans and media alike.
The Brazilian winger has been ruled out of the September 28 clash after suffering an injury to the middle third of the biceps femoris in his right thigh. The setback comes at a crucial point in the season, with Raphinha expected to miss at least three weeks of action.
On Friday, Barcelona confirmed the injury in an official medical update following Thursday’s game against Real Oviedo. “Player Raphinha has an injury to the middle third of the femoral biceps in his right thigh. The estimated recovery time is around three weeks,” the statement said.
