Raphinha 100% fit to face Atletico

FC Barcelona trained for the last time before facing Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals and did so with the new addition of Raphinha and Christensen.

Raphinha and Andreas Christensen trained with the rest of the squad on Tuesday in Barcelona’s final training session ahead of the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals against Atlético Madrid at the Metropolitano stadium.

The Brazilian striker had missed the Azulgrana’s two matches after the international break, the La Liga EA Sports victories over Osasuna (3-0) on 27 March and against Girona (4-1) last Sunday, after the demanding international break he faced with Brazil. Now he is back with his batteries recharged to face Atletico.

Meanwhile, the Danish defender has yet to make his debut this season due to a succession of injuries. The latest physical setback came on 1 March, when he suffered a soleus injury in his right leg during training, and he has not yet been officially cleared, so he will not be able to make Hansi Flick’s squad.

Midfielders Marc Casado, Marc Bernal and Dani Olmo are also ruled out due to injury, as is goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who started working with the group on Monday and is facing the final stretch of his serious knee injury.
