Raphinha Out 5 Weeks; Barcelona to Seek FIFA Compensation

Raphinha sustained the injury during Brazil’s friendly against France in the United States, a match Barcelona views as unnecessary given the player's history of muscle issues.

With Hansi Flick also frustrated by the scheduling, the club is eligible for financial compensation under FIFA's club protection program if the recovery exceeds 28 days, though this offers little consolation for their star player's absence.
