Barcelona could face another setback in their efforts to restore Raphinha to full fitness, with Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti expected to consider the winger for the national team’s November friendlies, according to SPORT.
As admitted by the player himself, the Brazilian has yet to regain his best form following an injury sustained against Australia in September, and a long trip to Singapore could complicate his recovery.
Ancelotti is due to announce his squad on Thursday, with Brazil scheduled to face Japan on November 14 before meeting Singapore on November 17. The matches would require Raphinha to travel approximately 11,000 kilometres from Barcelona, raising concerns about his workload as he attempts to return to peak condition.
