Fury in Barcelona! Flick and club management outraged over Raphinha's injury
An atmosphere of utter indignation has swept through the offices of the Catalan club.
Details: Head coach Hansi Flick and Barcelona's management are not hiding their fury after the official confirmation of Raphinha's serious injury, sustained while with the Brazil national team. According to SPORT, the club considers the actions of the Seleção's coaching staff to be the height of irresponsibility.
In Catalonia, there is no justification for subjecting key players to such exhausting travel and extreme workloads at the business end of the season.
The board's anger is only fueled by the fact that the national team's medical staff ignored Raphinha's injury history this season. The Brazilian has already missed several matches due to muscle issues and needed to be handled with the utmost care. Instead, the winger was thrown into action in Boston against France.
Notably, this season the Brazilian winger has played 31 matches for the Catalan club, scoring 19 goals and providing 8 assists.
Reminder: Barcelona has put Alejandro Balde up for transfer to save on budget. Manchester United and Manchester City are leading the race for the Spanish defender.
