Brazil’s Rafinha is close to returning to training at Barcelona in preparation for the new season after recovering from a muscle injury with his country’s 2026 World Cup.
Rafinha has had a tough summer after picking up a hamstring injury at the World Cup in Brazil.
“Barcelona” will hold a preliminary preparatory meeting in England for 8 days, during which they will hold a friendly match with “Birmingham City” on July 31, as part of preparations for the start of the 2026-2027 season.
According to the journalist come on Xavi Miguel Rafinha will join the training of the Catalan team on July 27.
He stressed that the player and his representatives are not considering leaving, despite ongoing rumors linking him with a move to the Saudi league, and are ready to continue with Barcelona.
England’s camp could see new faces being added to the squad as new signing Karim Adeyemi is expected to start pre-season with the squad, while the arrival of Portugal international Joao Cancelo is dependent on Barcelona completing the signing process.
On the other hand, the position of Dutchman Frankie de Jong remains uncertain, as he continues to undergo a medical examination due to a knee injury, due to which the date of his return to training is still undecided.
Rafinha suffered a number of injuries last season which affected his participation at Barcelona and the 29-year-old is hoping to regain full fitness and secure a starting place in manager Hans Flick’s side next season.
