Barcelona's key man will continue his recovery and won't be able to help the team in the upcoming La Liga fixture.
Details: According to DiarioAS, Barcelona's 29-year-old winger Raphinha will miss the upcoming La Liga matchday 23 clash against Mallorca due to injury.
Earlier reports indicated that Raphinha had suffered an adductor strain in his left leg, and to avoid aggravating the injury, the coaching staff gave the Brazilian a rest for the Copa del Rey match against Albacete. However, it has now been revealed that the Blaugrana medical team still hasn't cleared Raphinha for a return.
This season, Raphinha has made 22 appearances for Barcelona, scoring 13 goals and providing 5 assists. His current contract with the Blaugrana runs until 2028, and according to Transfermarkt, his market value stands at €80 million.
