"Raphinha is suffering from an overload in the adductor muscle of his ⁠right leg... his recovery period is expected to be one week," Barcelona said in a statement, adding that he will miss Tuesday's Copa del Rey quarter-final at Albacete.

Leaders Barcelona, ⁠bidding for their third ‌LaLiga title in four years, are a point above Real Madrid in the standings.
