"Barcelona" club president Joan Laporta was outraged by the international break windows due to Raphinha's injury:

"It’s very shameful about Raphinha's injury.

FIFA needs to create a calendar that takes into account players who play for the biggest clubs.

It was a friendly match and one of the club's best players got injured. Of course, it’s frustrating."

"It’s clear that you can’t shift the responsibility to someone else, as the players are professionals. They also represent their country and give everything."

29-year-old Raphinha has scored 19 goals in 31 matches this season.

The Brazilian suffered an injury last Thursday during a match against the French.

Raphinha has played five matches for the Brazilian national team this year.
