"Raphinha and Joan Garcia poised for return Indeed, according to SPORT, Flick expects two of his very crucial stars - Raphinha and Joan Garcia - to recover in time for Barcelona's next match. The reigning La Liga champions will take on Athletic Club, possibly at the Spotify Camp Nou, right after the international break on 22 November. The expectation is that Barcelona's medical staff will give Garcia and Raphinha the green light to return for that encounter."
"Both players picked up injuries in the game against Real Oviedo in late September, and their absences have hurt the Catalan giants on the pitch. Raphinha was understood to be close to a return before El Clasico, but a setback in training extended his spell out on the sidelines. As for Garcia, he has been training on the pitch for a week now, and the expectation is that he will be ready in time to face the Basque club later this month."
FC Barcelona reduced Real Madrid's lead to three points after a 4-2 win over Celta Vigo while Real Madrid were held to a goalless draw by Rayo Vallecano. The team will have a two-week international break that should allow Hansi Flick to recover injured players. Raphinha and Joan Garcia are expected to be available for the match against Athletic Club on 22 November at the Spotify Camp Nou. Both players suffered injuries against Real Oviedo in late September; Raphinha had a training setback before El Clasico while Garcia has been training for a week. Their return would strengthen Barcelona’s bid to overtake Real Madrid.
