Barcelona fans have reason to celebrate as both Raphinha and Pau Cubarsí are confirmed fit and ready to feature in the crucial Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Atlético Madrid on Wednesday. This announcement comes as a significant boost for the Catalan giants, who are navigating a demanding schedule.
The Brazilian winger, Raphinha, has been dealing with a minor injury to his right hand, sustained during international duty with Brazil.
Despite concerns raised by his appearance in training with a compression bandage, Barcelona's medical team has assured that the injury is not severe. Raphinha was rested during recent victories over Osasuna and Girona, allowing him ample time to recover and prepare for this pivotal encounter. His return is expected to add dynamism to Barcelona's attacking lineup, a crucial factor as they aim to secure a spot in the final.
Young center-back Pau Cubarsí also rejoins the squad after recovering from an ankle strain suffered while representing Spain in the UEFA Nations League. The injury had sidelined him for recent matches, but his return to fitness provides much-needed depth to Barcelona's defensive options. Cubarsí's presence will be vital in countering Atlético's potent attacking threats.
Barcelona heads into the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final with the aggregate score tied at 4-4.
