The injury suffered by Raphinha was the worst possible news FC Barcelona could have received during the last international break. The Brazilian had clearly been the best player in Hansi Flick’s side at the start of this season, and losing him was definitely a blow for the Blaugrana club, even though [he was not suffering from anything too serious](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/raphinha-ruled-out-for-two-games-as-barcelona-hope-to-have-him-back-for-crucial-fixtures/).
Because of this injury, the forward has been unable to play in the last two games, against Getafe and Galatasaray. However, luckily, his absence has not resulted in a drop in the team’s level, as the Catalans got big wins in these two matches as well.
Still, his return to normal training with his teammates was great news for Flick and the fans. On Thursday, as the team resumed training following their UCL win, the Brazilian trained with the group for the first time since the start of the last international break.
As a result, [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20261016/1004239162/raphinha-jong-apuntan-viajar-sevilla.html) notes that Raphinha is now likely to be included in the squad for the upcoming game against Real Betis, which is set to be played this Saturday at La Cartuja.
Meanwhile, the midfielder Frenkie de Jong has also been training with the group for several days now. He can also be included in the squad for this upcoming match after having suffered an injury during the World Cup which has kept him from playing so far this season.
With the return of these two players, only Roony Bardghji and Andreas Christensen remain unavailable for Hansi Flick. Of these two players, the Danish defender is expected to be the next one to return, while the Swedish forward would need more time to get back to full fitness.
For now, the fans will be keenly awaiting the Barcelona squad list for the match against Real Betis, and will be hopeful that these two players will be able to get back into the list.
