From the source
FC Barcelona reportedly are set to be annoyed by the Brazilian national team. That’s because Raphinha, who is one of the Catalans’ main stars, was injured while on national team duty last time out, and is set to return to play under Carlo Ancelotti before he has completed the full 90 with Barça.
He went 86 minutes and scored a goal against Real Madrid in a 2-1 loss, but he may not be fully 100% yet. Brazil have two friendly games on the horizon, against Japan on November 14 and Singapore on November 17.
The long flight to Asia and added minutes playing are not the best preparation for a return to playing for his club. Barcelona have important matches coming up, perhaps none more so than the game against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League on December 8.
