Barcelona learned the worst possible news from Brazil today. Specifically, one of the best players of the current Spanish champions, Raphinha, was injured during the friendly match between Brazil and France, which ended with the Europeans winning 2-1.
The brilliant Brazilian damaged his posterior cruciate ligament and, according to the latest information, is expected to miss at least a month.
Thus, Raphinha will miss the Champions League quarter-final double against Atletico Madrid, then the league duel against the same team and the matches against Espanyol, Celta, Getafe and Osasuna.
Also, there is a possibility that he will not even play in the possible Champions League semi-finals, if of course Barcelona surpass their rivals.
This will be a big miss for the Catalan club, as Raphinha is playing brilliantly this season, scoring 11 goals in the league.
Barcelona is the leading team in La Liga with 73 points, four more than second-place Real Madrid.
