Raphinha suffered a bad hamstring injury while playing for Brazil during this past international window, and the forward is feeling pretty down about it.

Barcelona Team News at Athletic Club: Jules Kounde, Alejandro Balde, Robert Lewandowski
FC Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid in midweek, but it was a victory in which they ultimately lost.

So Barcelona is now dumped out of that competition. Also, this win came with a major … [Read more...] about Barcelona Team News at Athletic Club: Jules Kounde, Alejandro Balde, Robert Lewandowski

Barcelona Team News vs Levante: Marcus Rashford, Gavi
FC Barcelona have fallen out of first place, and obviously, the sooner they can get back up in the top spot, the better. They need their rivals, Real Madrid, to stumble, but none of that matters if they can't take care of their own business, starting with the next match, at home versus Levante. Both Marcus Rashford (knee) and midfielder Pedri (hamstring) are doubts for this … [Read more...] about Barcelona Team News vs Levante: Marcus Rashford, Gavi
