Rafinha's absence reveals Barcelona's crisis!
Barcelona have announced that their Brazilian forward Rafinha will be sidelined for a week due to a right adductor muscle injury. The club stated in an official statement that the 29-year-old will miss Tuesday's Copa del Rey quarter-final against Albacete. Rafinha will undergo approximately a week of treatment before his availability for the match is assessed. His absence is a significant blow to Barcelona given his crucial role in attack this season, where he has been instrumental in both scoring and creating goals. This leaves the coaching staff with the task of finding suitable replacements to fill the void during this critical stage of the season.
