Barcelona Manage Torres and Raphinha Recoveries as Raphinha Ruled Out for Olympiacos
Barcelona is prioritizing El Clasico readiness over risking minutes for injured forwards in the Olympiacos tie.
Overview
- Ferran Torres and Raphinha trained individually at the Ciutat Esportiva rather than with the group.
- Journalist Helena Condis reports Raphinha will miss the midweek Champions League match and continue his tailored program.
- Torres has a non-structural left hamstring strain, with medical staff managing his workload and monitoring for a safe return.
- Assessments on Tuesday and Wednesday will gauge both players’ responses to increased training and potential reintroduction to full sessions.
- Local reporting indicates neither is likely to feature against Olympiacos, with cautious optimism reserved for Torres’ near-term league involvement.
