Barcelona ace takes next step in recovery but will still miss Galatasaray clash

Barcelona have received an encouraging update on Raphinha, with the Brazilian winger returning to pitch training as he continues his recovery from injury. Journalist Santi Ovalle confirmed the development on El Larguero , offering a positive sign for Hansi Flick as Barcelona go through a demanding run of fixtures.

Raphinha has already been ruled out of Barcelona’s Champions League meeting with Galatasaray after missing the final training session before the Getafe game. However, his latest step towards recovery suggests progress, even though the club is not rushing him back into action.

Given his form and importance, Barcelona’s priority is to ensure the forward fully recovers before returning to competitive football, particularly with important matches approaching, including El Clasico.
