The story in brief

Photo by Joan Valls/Urbanandsport/NurPhoto via Getty Images | NurPhoto via Getty Images Barcelona manager Hansi Flick shared some very good news at a press conference on Friday as he confirmed that captain Raphinha will be available for selection for Saturday’s La Liga match away to Real Betis.

The forward missed the first two games after the international break since sustaining a minor muscle issue in Brazil, but he should be good to go from this weekend and is eager to return to the starting lineup as soon as possible.

But Flick’s answer when asked about Raphinha made it clear the coach will be as cautious as possible with his minutes this weekend ahead of a crucial week with a Champions League trip to PSG and the first El Clásico of the season against Real Madrid next Sunday.
