Barcelona were rocked by brutal injury news during the infancy of the March international break, as the club announced superstar winger Raphinha will be sidelined for five weeks with a hamstring injury.
Raphinha started and played the opening 45 minutes of Brazil’s 2–1 defeat against France during Thursday’s international friendly. Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti raised the alarms post-match when he declared Raphinha “had a problem at the end of the first half and (they) had to replace him.”
