Finally! Hansi Flick announces Raphinha is fully fit and available for tomorrow's match

Barcelona's midfield maestro is back at Flick's disposal.

Details: On the eve of tomorrow's La Liga Matchday 13 clash at Camp Nou, where Barcelona will host Athletic Bilbao, head coach Hansi Flick confirmed that 28-year-old midfielder Raphinha has fully recovered from injury and is ready to feature in the upcoming fixture.

"Raphinha is back. He will start the game on the bench, and we'll see how many minutes he can get." Flick stated.

Raphinha picked up his injury in the Matchday 6 La Liga encounter against Oviedo on September 25. The Brazilian was forced off in the 65th minute. Earlier reports suggested Raphinha would be fit and ready for the El Clásico against Real Madrid on October 26, but a day before the match he suffered a relapse and had to return to the treatment room.
