Finishes with 15 goal contributions Raphinha appeared in 28 games (17 starts), registering six goals on 59 shots and nine assists on 41 chances created.

Impact Raphinha saw less time in his second season with the club, as he was included in the heavy rotation Barcelona deployed in the attack this season. However, he still was better this campaign, notching 15 goal contributions compared to his 14 from the last campaign, appearing to be much more effective when on the field this season. He will now hope to return to the starting spot he held before, as at the end of the season, he did see more time, although there is plenty of talent around him to compete with.

Impact Raphinha is in line to make his return to play Sunday, finally recovering from a hamstring issue that has left him out of the club's past four contests. This is a huge addition coming into the weekend for Barcelona, as the Brazilian will most likely get the start with Joao Felix (ankle), Ferran Torres (hamstring) and Vitor Rouque (suspension) all out for the game against Granada. He will look to remain in a starting role moving forward, as Raphinha has mainly served in a rotational spot this season, starting in about half of the contests he has been available for.

Returns to training Raphinha (hamstring) was back on the training pitch Monday ahead of Sunday's match against Granada.

Impact Raphinha has missed the club's past four matches with his current hamstring issue but appears to be trending in the right direction after rejoining training for the first time since his injury. This is a promising look for the Brazilian, as he was not supposed to be an option for another two contests but could be in line to earn a spot on the team sheet this Sunday. Either way, his return will still depend on his recovery work, so hope for a good week of training and for the attacker to get back on the pitch sooner rather than later.

Hamstring injury confirmed Raphinha has been diagnosed with a left hamstring injury and is set for an undetermined spell on the sidelines, the club announced Friday.

Impact Hamstring injuries are quite complicated and the recovery process is not always linear, so Raphinha is certainly going to spend a few weeks sidelined and will miss a few matches at least. The Brazilian winger was in fine form before suffering the injury in the Spanish Super Cup match against Osasuna, as he had registered one goal and four assists in his previous five competitive matches. Lamine Yamal and Joao Felix, along with Ferran Torres, are expected to benefit from more playing time while Raphinha is sidelined.

Suffers apparent injury Thursday Raphinha suffered an apparent hamstring injury during the first half of Thursday's Super Cup semifinal against Osasuna and was subbed off in the 42nd minute.

Impact Lamine Yamal replaced the Brazilian winger, and while no official diagnosis has been provided, a potential hamstring injury means the winger could be in line to face a few weeks on the sidelines, at a minimum. It's unfortunate for Raphinha, who entered the Super Cup with one goal and four assists in his previous five competitive matches.
