Raphinha (thigh) remained away from team training Wednesday and did not take part in any work on the pitch as he continues his rehabilitation from muscular edema in his right thigh, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Analysis:Raphinha's lack of on-field work increases the uncertainty surrounding his availability for Saturday's clash against Getafe after earlier reports suggested he could feature off the bench. He still needs to progress to individual field work and then rejoin the group before being cleared to return, making his involvement increasingly doubtful. Barcelona have little reason to take risks given the demanding upcoming schedule, including a Champions League clash with Galatasaray three days after Getafe. Gabriel Jesus and Anthony Gordon are among the attacking alternatives if Raphinha is unavailable.
