Barcelona forward is out for a month and in doubt about Napoli match

The nature of the injury to Barcelona's forward Rafinha, sustained in yesterday's Super Cup semi-final match against Osasuna (2:0), has been revealed.

As per the official club website, the Brazilian suffered a injury to the posterior cruciate ligament. Barcelona has not provided a timeline for Rafinha's recovery, but according to BarcaTV correspondent Roger Torrellas, it is expected to be at least a month.

This implies that Rafinha will not only miss the final match for the Super Cup against Real Madrid, but also La Liga matches against Betis, Villarreal, Osasuna, Alaves, and Granada. Additionally, his participation in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 against Napoli is uncertain.

To replace Rafinha in yesterday's game, Lamine Yamal came on the field and scored the second goal in the closing minutes.

In the current season, Rafinha has contributed with 4 goals and 7 assists in 20 matches across all competitions.
