Barcelona captain fit to play vs Leganes after fitness scare during Dortmund clash | OneFootball

Barcelona enjoyed the sweet aftermath of their victory over Borussia Dortmund in the German city, where they spent the night before flying back to Catalonia at 1 pm today.

Before the flight, the Barça manager Hansi Flick conducted the usual recovery and compensation training session at Borussia Dortmund’s training facility.

While the starting players were limited to a gym session without stepping onto the pitch, the substitutes took part in a full workout on the training fields.

Raphinha trains normally

The Brazilian winger, who was once again decisive with a goal against the Black and Yellows last night, felt some minor muscle discomfort due to fatigue and had been spotted limping before being subbed off as the club did not want to take any risks.

Fortunately, there is no injury, and Raphinha worked normally in today’s training session in Dortmund before the squad left for Barcelona.

The 27-year-old will train normally on Friday to begin preparing for the La Liga match against Leganes on Sunday, 15 December, at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

Both the coaching staff and the medical team have confirmed that he will be fit to play in the weekend clash to defend their league lead.

As for the rest of the squad members who did not start, they had a more intense training session at Borussia Dortmund’s training ground to maintain their fitness before returning to Barcelona.
