According to the Spanish "AS" report, Barcelona coach Flick was annoyed by the recurrence of Rafinha's injury and asked the physical trainer to explain the situation.

Flick originally planned to let Rafinha play in the Spanish El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, but the player's biceps femoris injury partially recurred and he was unable to play.

Flick was very angry about this. At first, Barcelona did not pay much attention to the slight stinging sensation that Raphinha felt during training on October 22. It was not until the player's injury recurred the next day that the situation was confirmed to be serious.
