Barcelona warns Brazil over Raphinha's hamstring injury recovery

Barcelona has expressed concern over the injury status of forward Raphinha following his hamstring issue during the 2026 World Cup. Brazil confirmed he is undergoing intensive treatment for a small tear in his right hamstring, which may be more serious than indicated. Raphinha has previously suffered relapses of the same injury this season, raising alarms about the risk of rushing his return. The decision for his participation in future matches hinges on the assessment of Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti. He will miss Brazil’s final group game against Scotland but could potentially return later in the tournament.
