Extreme Caution for El Clásico / Raphinha Misses Out Again: Not Even Making the Champions League!

Raphinha is unable to join Barcelona against Galatasaray either due to injury.

According to "Verzeh Se", Rafinha will not travel to Istanbul. The Brazilian is not on the list of players called up for Barcelona's match against Galatasaray on Tuesday, as Hansi Flick announced on Friday. This coach has agreed with this player not to participate in this game as well as last Saturday's game against Getafe.

Flick doesn't want to take any chances after what happened to the Brazilian star last season. At that time, the player's early return caused him to suffer two more injuries later on. This time, he does not want to face unexpected events, so Rafinha will not play against Galatasaray. Had this been El Clasico, he could have been involved, but with the opponent and important games ahead, both sides preferred to play it safe.

In addition, the team will not return to Barcelona after this game to avoid possible injuries. The plan is for the players to rest in Istanbul and train in the city before returning to Barcelona on Wednesday. The next game will be against Betis next Saturday. Today, the coach announced the list of players invited to play against Galatasaray, there are no new changes in it.

The list includes the following players: Juan Garcia, Livacovic and Szesny, Kende, Eric Garcia, Kobarsi, Gerard Martin, Xavi Sparta, Cancelo, Balde, Fariñas, Pedri, Rodri, Gavi, Bernal, Fermin Lopez, Olmo, Lamine Yamal, Gordon, Ademi and Gabriel Jesus.
