Barcelona return from the international break with a question mark over one of their players in top form: Raphinha. The Brazilian winger returned early from international duty after suffering a muscular edema during Brazil's match against Indonesia.

Raphinha injury: will he play against Getafe?

Raphinha is still training separately from the rest of the squad, making his availability for Barcelona's upcoming match against Getafe in Matchday 8 uncertain.

With a busy schedule ahead, Hansi Flick is unlikely to take unnecessary risks with the Brazilian winger. Barcelona have several important fixtures coming up in a short period, with the match against Galatasaray just around the corner.

Even more importantly, the Catalan side will soon face PSG on October 20 before the highly anticipated Clásico against Real Madrid on October 25.

Raphinha could be rested against Getafe

Given the circumstances, Raphinha could be left out of the starting lineup against Getafe or even rested completely. Barcelona's priority will be to make sure the winger has fully recovered and avoid any risk of a setback.

If his physical condition improves over the coming days, another option would be for Raphinha to come off the bench and play some minutes rather than starting the match.

The next training sessions will therefore be crucial in determining whether the Brazilian will be available for Matchday 8.

With PSG and the Clásico on the horizon, Barcelona are likely to be cautious with Raphinha and avoid taking unnecessary risks against Getafe.
