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.
