Barcelona come up with plan for Raphinha ahead of Getafe clash

Barcelona forward Raphinha will reportedly be available against Getafe on October 10 but will not start the match. The Brazilian suffered an injury scare and went off at half-time during Brazil's 4-2 win over Australia, but scans confirmed no structural damage beyond swelling and pain.

Manager Hansi Flick is expected to use Raphinha as a substitute at most to preserve his fitness. Barcelona faces a congested schedule with upcoming matches against Galatasaray, Real Betis, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid, meaning Gabriel Jesus could start in his place.
