The Brazilian winger, who has been sidelined in recent weeks due to injury, is said to be progressing well in his recovery and could be declared fit just in time for El Clásico. His return would come as a major boost for Xavi’s side, who have missed his creativity, pace, and attacking threat on the right flank.
Raphinha’s presence could offer Barcelona the extra spark they’ve been lacking in recent matches, especially with Real Madrid currently in strong form. The 28-year-old has already proven his ability to make an impact in big games, and his comeback could play a decisive role in one of the most anticipated fixtures of the season.
All eyes will now be on Barcelona’s next training sessions and Xavi’s press conference for confirmation — but fans are already buzzing at the prospect of seeing Raphinha back in action on the biggest stage.
