Barcelona forward Raphinha Dias has returned early from international duty with the Brazil squad due to an injury. While the issue is reportedly not serious and the player could potentially feature in the starting lineup for the upcoming La Liga match against Getafe, manager Hansi Flick is expected to adopt a cautious approach.
Flick is considering resting his captain to ensure he is fully fit for the more demanding schedule of fixtures throughout October. According to reports, the German manager has six alternative options in his attacking ranks: Gabriel Jesus, Hamza Abdelkarim, Anthony Gordon, Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez, and Lamine Yamal.
Raphinha has been in exceptional form during the 2026/27 season, tallying 14 goals and three assists in just eight appearances for the Blaugrana prior to the international break.
