Barcelona forward Raphinha is not expected to return for up to a month after suffering a setback with his hamstring injury. The Brazil international returned to partial training with Hansi Flick’s squad on Thursday and was hoping to prove his fitness in time to play a part in Sunday’s first Clasico of the season against Real Madrid.

Raphinha is one of Barcelona's best players in the sqaud and he was vital for them against Real Madrid last season. The Brazilian winger suffered an injury in September and was expected to be back for the El Clásico match today. Raphinha returned to team training earlier this week and was expected to start the match.
