Catalonia breathes a sigh of relief! Barcelona receives the results of star Raphinha's medical examination

The Catalan giants have received long-awaited positive news from the medical staff regarding the health of their key goalscorer.

Details: Further medical tests conducted at Barcelona have confirmed that the muscle issue suffered by forward Raphinha while on international duty with Brazil does not pose a serious threat. The news was reported by respected Spanish journalist Alfredo Martínez.

The footballer felt discomfort at half-time of the international fixture, prompting the Brazil coaching staff to withdraw him as a precaution. Tests carried out in the Catalan capital ruled out a muscle tear and confirmed only minor tightness in the back of his thigh.

According to the source, rehabilitation will take just a few days, meaning the 29-year-old Brazilian creator will return to full training and be able to help the Blaugrana as early as next week's matches, avoiding a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

It is worth noting that this season, Raphinha has been the undisputed driving force behind Barcelona's attack and wears the captain's armband for Brazil, delivering outstanding numbers in La Liga and European competition.
