Picks up suspension
Raphinha will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in La Liga.
Analysis: Raphinha picked up his fifth yellow card in La Liga and will be sidelined for Wednesday's matchup against Alaves due to suspension. The playmaker has logged just 26 minutes off the bench against Real Madrid since returning from his long term hamstring injury, so his absence should have minimal impact with the Blaugranas already crowned Champions. Fermin or Marcus Rashford are in line to get the start on the left wing for that clash.
Returns to bench
Raphinha (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Osasuna.
Analysis: Raphinha has been included in the travelling squad after returning to team training on Wednesday, with coach Flick's careful wording translating into a bench role in line with the cautious approach the medical staff have maintained throughout his recovery from the biceps femoris injury suffered with Brazil in late March. The Brazilian captain has been the cornerstone of the Blaugranas' attack this season, scoring 11 goals and delivering three assists in La Liga, and getting even a few minutes from their leading attacker is a welcome development ahead of a fixture where Barcelona could virtually seal the title. His return to the starting lineup is expected to follow imminently once the medical staff are fully satisfied his injury history poses no further risk.
