Scores in return to action
Raphinha (hamstring) started and converted a penalty kick during Saturday's friendly meeting with Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Raphinha finally made his competitive comeback after sustaining a muscular injury while representing Brazil at the World Cup. The star attacker has stood out as one of Barca's most impressive players over the last couple of seasons, and his role is unlikely to change significantly as long as he stays healthy over the next year, even though the arrival of offseason signing Anthony Gordon could reduce his playing time or push him to a more centralized spot at times. Before having his World Cup campaign cut short by the injury, Raphinha was coming off a 16-goal and five-assist campaign across league and European competitions in 2025/26.
Back in team training
Raphinha (hamstring) was back in team training Thursday, the club posted.
Analysis: Raphinha arrived at the club's preseason camp at St George's Park after completing his vacation period following Brazil's elimination at the World Cup, where a hamstring issue limited him to the first two group matches. His return to team training is an encouraging sign, and his availability for Friday's friendly against Birmingham City will depend on how his progress is assessed by the coaching staff as manager Hansi Flick looks to gradually build him back up to full intensity.
