Raphael Dias Belloli, Raphinha, is injured again. Amidst the debate about his future at Barça, the Blaugrana attacker fell during the second match the Brazilian national team played in the World Cup. Same problem, same muscle. In the 40th minute of the match against Haiti (3-0), he felt a twinge in his right thigh and had to ask to be substituted. Pending more conclusive reports, if there is a muscle tear, he will hardly play again in this championship. This is terrible news for the Canarinha and also for a footballer exposed to the temptations of petrodollars.

Anthony Gordon is the first signing for Barça for the third season with Hansi Flick. The 25-year-old English international footballer has reached an agreement with the Catalan club. This week, the Barça sporting director, Deco, has been in England negotiating with Newcastle United. The agreement between the three parties is now a fact and the footballer will sign his contract with Barça this Friday at 13:00 in the office of interim president Rafael Yuste. Afterwards, he will be presented at a press conference.
