According to Goal.com, Barcelona have received encouraging news ahead of their Champions League clash against Galatasaray, though Raphinha's return date remains uncertain.

The Brazilian winger Raphinha has resumed on-field training as part of his recovery plan following a minor edema in his right thigh that forced him to cut short his international break.

Since returning early from the international break, Raphinha has been training individually, away from his teammates.

Given his history of muscle problems in the same area, Barcelona's medical staff are taking a cautious approach with the Brazilian winger. The club is keen not to rush his comeback before he is fully fit.

Despite the positive progress in his recovery, Raphinha will not travel with Barcelona to Turkey for the match against Galatasaray.

Resuming on-field training is an important milestone in his recovery, but it does not signal an immediate return. He remains focused on regaining full fitness and awaiting medical clearance to play.

Barcelona hope Raphinha will make a full recovery soon, as he is a key player in their attack with the ability to turn matches, particularly during the challenging fixture list ahead.

While his absence from the away match against Galatasaray is confirmed, his return to training sends a positive signal to the squad and indicates his recovery is progressing well. The team awaits his return to full team training and competitive action.
