The Brazilian star has been out for 6 weeks, almost double the time as first expected, but is expected to resume training with his teammates now and could be in the group for the upcoming game with Celta Vigo.<\/p>\n<p>Raphinha was on the pitch for the last time vs. Real Oviedo in the past month, suffering a hamstring problem that was initially expected to sideline him for less than a month. However, different problems during his recovery prolonged his absence from the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian sustained his problem in the middle of the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> half vs. Real Oviedo, forcing him off in visible discomfort. It was expected that he would be able to return on time to play in El Cl\u00e1sico, but that didn\u2019t happen, and he watched his side lose 2-1 to Real Madrid.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udcf2 \ud835\udde1\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddea: Raphinha on Instagram, sharing stories of his achievements last season with laughing emojis.<\/p>\n<p>This comes 24 hours after the FIFPro World XI was announced, where he was not included. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tchHO3vvej\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/tchHO3vvej<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; The Touchline | \ud835\udc13 (@TouchlineX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TouchlineX\/status\/1985655402285998450?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">November 4, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Catalan giants could soon count on Raphinha as he begins the final phase of his recovery from a hamstring problem.
