Barcelona winger Rafinha is close to full recovery after a muscle injury, reports Mundo Deportivo. For the Catalan club this is a positive news ahead of the start of pre-season preparation.

The Brazilian football player recognized the delay in the match of the group stage of the World Cup 2026 against the national team of Haiti. Despite the fact that Rafinha was eliminated before the application for the 1/8 final match against Norway, there are still no players on the field, guarding Brazil's victory from the bench of substitutes.

Wanting most of the citizens of Barcelona to turn around until the 13th line, Rafinha withdraws the additional access. The club wants us to recover physically and psychologically after the difficult 2025/26 season, which was repeatedly interrupted by injuries.

As it turns out, Blaugranas head coach Hansi Flick is backing the Brazilian as one of the key players in the attack, following the summer reinforcement of the team by winger Anthony Gordon.
