Raphinha was the only player missing from the most recent training session leading up to the match with Betis since he was playing for Brazil yesterday night.
The Barça players have all gradually started reporting back to work at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper now that the international break is over. Raphinha is the lone exception; she was playing for Brazil in Peru last night at 4 p.m. Barcelona time, and she certainly hasn’t arrived yet.
Astralaga, Cubars, Unai Hernández, Héctor Fort, and Marc Casadó of Barça Atlètic kept working with the team in Wednesday’s practice even though practically everyone was already back on duty.
With Betis visiting the Estadi Olympic Llus Companys on Saturday at 9 p.m. CEST and Royal Antwerp traveling from Belgium for the first Champions League match just three days later, this week is going to be busy. Now that there are no more international matches until mid-October, Barça is moving full-speed ahead.
