List of Barcelona matches Raphinha could miss through injury as he faces one month out
Raphinha suffered a hamstring injury during FC Barcelona’s Spanish Super Cup semi-final match against CA Osasuna Friday night, according to an official statement issued by the club.
While the club did not provide a clear date for his recuperation, his participation in Sunday’s Super Cup final against Real Madrid was all but ruled out.

Raphinha could be out for a month
However, Roger Torello of Mundo Deportivo has provided an update on the timeframe in which Raphinha could be unavailable for selection for Barcelona.
According to the latest news, the Brazilian winger, whose market value is €50 million, will be out for one month.
It would imply that the 27-year-old’s participation in the Blaugrana’s UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match against Napoli on February 21 could be jeopardised because he would be returning just before that game.
List of matches Raphinha will miss
As iterated earlier, Raphinha is ruled out of Sunday’s Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid in Saudi Arabia. Beyond that, the 27-year-old is set to miss several other important fixtures for the La Liga champions.
- Real Madrid vs Barcelona – January 14 (Super Cup final)
- Unionistas vs Barcelona – January 18 (Copa del Rey)
- Real Betis vs Barcelona – January 21 (La Liga)
- Barcelona vs Villarreal – January 27 (La Liga)
- Barcelona vs Osasuna – January 30 (La Liga)
- Alaves vs Barcelona – February 3 (La Liga)
- Barcelona vs Granada – February 11 (La Liga)
- Celta Vigo vs Barcelona – February 18 (La Liga)
In addition to these games, Raphinha could also miss the quarter-finals (25 January) and the first leg of the semi-finals (6-7 February) of the Copa del Rey in the scenario that Barcelona progress in the tournament.
Beyond that, his involvement in the first leg of the Round of 16 UCL tie against Napoli could also be in question.
