FC Barcelona's La Liga and UEFA Champions League title hopes have suffered a big setback after Raphinha suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty, reported Xinhua. The Brazilian Football Confederation confirmed on Friday that he suffered the injury in his right hamstring during Thursday's 2-1 defeat to France in a friendly. The forward will leave the Brazilian squad to return to Barcelona for treatment.
This is the second time Raphinha has suffered a right hamstring injury this season, having missed almost two months earlier in the campaign. Barcelona plays away to Atletico Madrid in La Liga on April 4, before hosting Diego Simeone's side in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal four days later. After that, Barcelona entertains Espanyol in a derby in La Liga on April 11, and travel to the Metropolitano Stadium for the Champions League second leg on April 14. Raphinha has scored 14 goals and given six assists in 27 appearances in La Liga and Champions League this season.
