Tite confirmed: Barcelona asked Brazil to be careful about Raphinha
With the recent injuries, Barcelona will be facing a major crisis and will therefore be trying to prevent further injuries.
Frenkie de Jong, Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde and Memphis Depay were injured during the international break and Barcelona are facing an injury crisis. Raphinha played 80 minutes during the 3-0 win over Ghana and is likely to play against Tunisia on Tuesday. Now Tite has announced that Barcelona have asked them to be careful about Raphinha.
The Brazilian said:
"In order for there to be maximum transparency, I tell you that today the Barcelona coaching staff spoke to our physical trainer and asked us to be careful of Raphinha.
"They have lost Araujo and for this reason they are worried. They asked us how the player is, if he is training well.
"The calendar of the big clubs is very congested and this worries us because until we meet for the World Cup, the players will play two games a week."
Raphinha, who joined Barca from Leeds United in the summer, started in 4 La Liga games and played more than 1 hour against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
