RAFINHA NEWS

Allowed to look for new club Rafinha didn't make the 20-man squad for Sunday's Trophee des Champions clash versus Nantes.

Impact Rafinha is part of a group that also includes Ander Herrera, Julian Draxler, Georginio Wijnaldum, Layvin Kurzawa and Thilo Kehrer left out of favor and allowed to leave the club this Summer. The new management won't rely much on any of those players and even if they end up staying in Paris none of them will likely see the pitch during the transfer window and potentially could get back in the mix September at the earliest.

Active in loss Rafinha put three shots off target, won two-of-four tackles and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Rafinha scored one goal in 17 appearances (13 starts) for La Real this season and his presence was a bigger boost to their confidence than anything else. As he's still on loan from PSG, Rafinha could find a new home in the coming campaign.

Creates two chances in draw Rafinha created two chances from five crosses (one accurate) during 76 minutes of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Rafinha has also made five tackles in his last two matches do go with a decent attacking output in Sunday's game. Given that it's still not enough to make a massive difference, Rafinha will have a good matchup against Levante, which have conceded the most goals in the league.

Makes bench Saturday Rafinha (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Rafinha is available again after missing the last two matches with a thigh issue. He's moved in and out of the starting XI when healthy and figures to continue that role the rest of the way, though he's made the score-sheet just once this season.

Scores off bench Rafinha scored one goal in 23 minutes of Sunday's 2-0 win over Granada.

Impact Rafinha had started the first three matches since joining La Real but was more effective in a relief effort Sunday. Still, he's shown too much promise and skill to leave on the bench forever, so he could return as soon as Sunday's trip to Athletic Club.

Makes three tackles in draw Rafinha made three tackles (two won) and one interception while suffering five fouls during Sunday's scoreless draw against Getafe.

Impact Rafinha made his second start since joining Sociedad and, despite the lack of numbers, he showed what he can bring to the table in a couple of plays and added a lot of consistency to the midfield. Up next for the playmaker is Feb. 6 visit to Valencia.
