The Brazilian forward Raphael Dias 'Raphinha' arrived in Barcelona this Thursday, where he is scheduled to undergo further medical tests on Friday to determine the progress of the muscle edema in the back of his right thigh that he suffered with his national team.

Raphinha, the top scorer for Barça at the start of this season with fourteen goals, twelve of which place him as the top scorer in LaLiga EA Sports (Spanish First Division), left the friendly match against Australia at halftime, played on Tuesday, after feeling discomfort.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) released the Barcelona forward from the upcoming commitments of the 'Canarinha' "as a precaution," after he underwent a medical examination on Wednesday, which detected a small muscle edema in the back of his right thigh.

It will be this Friday when the Barça medical services are expected to subject the Porto Alegre footballer to new tests, according to sources from the blue and garnet club confirmed to EFE, who specified that if the discomfort is not serious, the player's status will not be updated through a statement.

Raphinha's return to Barcelona after the two friendlies played against Australia is the second for a Blaugrana player in this international break window. Previously, Eric Garcia had to leave the Spanish national team call-up due to discomfort in his left knee, issues that are not of major concern. EFE
