New Delhi, June 22 -- Raphinha is going through a nightmare season after the Brazilian winger suffered a hamstring injury during their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group C clash against Haiti, marking his fourth injury of the same nature in the past year. The Barcelona winger also missed 23 matches last season due to similar problems. Although it is unsure how fast Raphinha will return, but it has raised serious doubts over his participation in the rest of the tournament.
