Seleção coach Carlo Ancelotti used Raphinha in both of the last friendlies, but in Australia, where the Brazilian team played friendlies, he played 90 minutes at a time, while all other strikers in the squad got fewer minutes of playing time. Whether Ancelotti's high commitment in this last double pack with Australia as the target didn't put Raphinha's fitness under strain is a point that FC Barcelona would also like to have clarified. \n\nRaphinha's first injury of the year was noticed when he injured his thigh during a friendly against France in Boston in March and therefore missed the Champions League quarter-finals against Atletico Madrid. In June he suffered an injury to the same area in the World Cup two-game against Haiti and had to miss the following games against Scotland and Japan due to injury. In the round of 16 of the World Cup against Norway he was fit again, but was not in the starting line-up and did not play in the game.
