Barcelona's hopes of having Raphinha in the El Clasico against Real Madrid took a hit after the Brazilian winger failed to participate in Friday's training session. Raphinha is still struggling to recover from a hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined since September.
Meanwhile, Ferran Torres and Frenkie de Jong are likely to feature in the match against Real Madrid. De Jong has fully recovered from a recent illness and trained with the team on Friday. With Raphinha's absence, Marcus Rashford, Lamine Yamal, and Ferran Torres are expected to lead Barcelona's attack. Jules Koundé, who has been dealing with a minor muscle issue, is still uncertain for the match.
Raphinha's attendance at the training session at Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper was brief, as he departed before the session even began, effectively ruling him out of the Madrid trip.
