Barcelona has announced the recovery timeline for their star player, Rafinha. The Brazilian suffered an injury in the national team's friendly match against France. The expected absence is around five weeks. This means the earliest he could return is for the El Clásico on May 10th and for the UEFA Champions League semi-final, should the team advance. Rafinha has returned to Barcelona to begin his treatment. According to the report, he will miss seven matches: five in La Liga and two in the Champions League. If Barcelona defeats Atlético Madrid and progresses to the semi-final, Rafinha could miss up to four games in total. He will not be available for the upcoming league match against Atlético Madrid.
