Hansi Flick speaks out on Raphinha’s injury concern after win over Dortmund | OneFootball

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has provided an insight into the wellbeing of star attacker Raphinha.

This of course comes after the Brazilian set alarm bells sounding across the Barcelona fanbase late last night.

Afforded a starting berth in a Champions League showdown with Borussia Dortmund in Germany, Raphinha went on to play a starring role, opening the scoring en route to an eventual 3-2 Blaugrana triumph.

In turn, it marked a major source of concern upon the 27-year-old going to ground off the ball during the 2nd-half.

From here, Raphinha was quickly hooked from proceedings at Signal Iduna Park, replaced in Barcelona’s XI by Frenkie de Jong.

Speaking to the media on the back of the full-time whistle, the name of his side’s wing wizard was therefore put to boss Hansi Flick.

Barca’s headmaster, though, was quick to ease fears, in assuring:

“Raphinha is not injured, he just has fatigue.”
