Barcelona winger Raphinha is set to feature in the upcoming El Clásico clash against Real Madrid, scheduled for Sunday, as FC Barcelona prepares for a decisive moment in the La Liga title race.
The Brazilian forward has recently recovered from a hamstring injury sustained during the international break. Although he was medically cleared ahead of Barcelona’s last league match against Osasuna, the coaching staff opted to rest him as a precaution to avoid any risk of relapse.
According to reports, head coach Hansi Flick is likely to use Raphinha as an impact substitute rather than starting him, aiming to manage his physical condition carefully while keeping a powerful attacking option available for the later stages of the match.
The Clasico could prove pivotal in deciding the league title, with Barcelona needing just two points to secure the championship. A draw against Real Madrid would significantly strengthen their position while limiting their rival’s chances in the title race.
