Latest news at Barcelona. Raphinha, a 29-year-old forward, was substituted at halftime of the friendly match between Brazil and Australia played this Tuesday, September 29th due to discomfort in his right thigh. Carlo Ancelotti decided to take the Brazilian out and brought in Endrick, awaiting the exact extent of the physical issue. 

The injury comes after a start to the season where Raphinha has scored 14 goals and provided 3 assists in 8 matches with Barcelona. The striker had also played 90 minutes in the first friendly against Australia, held on September 25th, which increased the load accumulated during the Brazil camp. 

Raphinha injured during the Brazil-Australia match

Raphinha was a starter in Brisbane and acted as Brazil's offensive reference. During the first half, he suffered muscle discomfort that led to his substitution at halftime, with Endrick taking his place after Ancelotti's decision. 

The definitive diagnosis still needs to determine the extent of the injury. Available information indicates discomfort in the right thigh, so the next step will be to await the results of the medical tests performed on the player. 

Barcelona will be closely monitoring his progress as Raphinha had already experienced muscle problems last season. In March 2026, an injury suffered with Brazil against France caused him to miss important matches with the Barça team. 

The context explains the club's concern. Before this camp, Raphinha had participated in 8 official matches with Barcelona and had scored 14 goals, including 12 in La Liga, since his conversion to the center forward position.

Barcelona awaits the extent of Raphinha's injury

The situation arises in a particularly demanding international window for Raphinha. Brazil had scheduled two friendlies against Australia, on September 25 and 29, and another match against India on October 3. 

In the first match against Australia, Raphinha played the full 90 minutes and was involved in the play that led to Brazil's equalizer by taking the corner that resulted in Rayan's goal in added time. 

The accumulation of minutes had also been one of the aspects under scrutiny by Barcelona before the tour. The club faced an international trip of several days while Raphinha arrived as one of the team's most offensive-loaded players. 

The contractual situation is also significant. Raphinha is currently under contract with Barcelona until June 2028, although the club has publicly expressed its intention to extend the deal until 2030 after his performance in this early part of the season.

Raphinha's next steps

Now the priority is to determine if Raphinha can continue with Brazil during the camp or if he needs to return to Barcelona earlier. The friendly against India on October 3 is subject to the evolution of the muscle issue. 

For Barcelona, the next medical report will be crucial to understand if Raphinha will be available after the international break. The player will return to the club with 14 goals in 8 matches this season, but his continuity will depend on the severity of the discomfort suffered with Brazil.
