Barça Femení extend European run with six goals in Rome

European champions Barça Femení kept up their winning momentum on the continent with a commanding display in Rome, scoring six goals to extend their perfect start in the Champions League.

The result adds to an incredible month for the women’s side, who are continuing to win big as the club builds positive vibes ahead of the men’s El Clásico visit from Real Madrid.

Raphinha returns to Catalunya with injury concern

FC Barcelona winger Raphinha has returned to Catalunya after featuring for Brazil, with the club monitoring his fitness ahead of the weekend.

A round-up of Barcelona news notes an incredible month that has brought nine goals and seven assists following a stunning display against Croatia, with the winger continuing to be a key creative outlet for both club and country.

The Bayern Munich striker and England captain highlighted the progress of the FC Barcelona winger, who scored the opening goal against the Czech Republic.

Brazil medical update and Getafe cover options

The striker underwent medical tests after the Australia-Brazil match which detected edema in his right thigh and he will not play in the friendly against India as a precaution.

Should Raphinha not recover from his hamstring edema or be rested against Getafe, Barcelona have options in attack. The club can call on Gabriel Jesus, Hamza, Gordon, Olmo, Fermín and even Lamine to fill in for the Brazilian.

With players returning and the squad in good shape, the focus now shifts to the upcoming LaLiga fixture against Getafe before the high-profile Clasico.
