From the source
Barcelona forward Raphinha has admitted that he is still not operating at 100% fitness ahead of Sunday’s El Clasico against Real Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou.
The Brazilian is working his way back after experiencing discomfort in his right thigh while representing Brazil during the international break, an issue that prompted him to leave the national squad as a precaution.
With Hansi Flick preparing his team for one of the biggest matches of the season, Raphinha’s physical condition remains an important consideration. The winger has returned to action but acknowledged that he still has work to do before reaching his best level.
