The setback came after Raphinha took part in the friendly Brazil played against Australia, which ended with a 2-4 victory for the 'canarinha'. After the match, the player underwent medical tests that revealed the muscular issue.
The Brazilian Football Confederation decided to act cautiously and release the forward from Carlo Ancelotti's call-up. As a result, he will not be available for the match against India scheduled for this Saturday, October 3, nor will he travel to Calcutta.
The CBF outlined the situation of the Blaugrana player in its medical report: "He underwent a test that revealed a small muscular edema in the back of his right thigh. As a precautionary measure and to help speed up his recovery, the player will be left out of the Brazilian squad. No other player will be called up for the friendly against India".
Attention now turns to Barcelona. The club already knew that Raphinha had been carrying some discomfort, and there is concern about the condition of one of the captains of Hansi Flick's team.
Once he returns to the Catalan capital, it is expected that the Brazilian will undergo new examinations with the Blaugrana medical services. Those tests will be used to confirm the diagnosis made during his time with the national team and to determine the treatment for his recovery.
