All because of Raphinha.
The international break is over, but it brought injuries to several players, including Raphinha. This has caused frustration for Barcelona’s leadership.
Details: In an interview with Mon Esport, Barcelona president Joan Laporta expressed that Raphinha’s injury is a significant concern. He emphasized that FIFA needs to rethink its scheduling, as the current setup is frustrating for clubs.
Quote: “FIFA should design its calendar considering that these players are part of major clubs. This was a friendly match, and one of our best players got hurt. It’s certainly frustrating.
Players cannot be blamed; they are professionals who give their all for their country. The real issue is the packed schedule at a critical time in the season when we are striving for success. It’s frustrating,” Laporta stated.
Earlier, we reported that Raphinha requested permission from the club to stay in Brazil. His reasons include not just his physical injury but also his emotional well-being.
Reminder: The release clause for Marcus Rashford, the 28-year-old Manchester United forward who was on loan at Barcelona, is still active.
