Barcelona held a training session in Dortmund on Thursday morning following their thrilling 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. The standout development was the participation of Raphinha, who trained normally despite ending Wednesday’s match with signs of fatigue.
The Brazilian forward, substituted in the final minutes due to physical overload, joined his teammates at Borussia Dortmund’s training complex in Bracke. Sources close to the club confirm that Raphinha’s physical condition is stable, and he is not expected to face any issues that could sideline him from Sunday’s league fixture against Leganes.
The session was divided into recovery activities, with players who started the Champions League clash working in the gym, while substitutes engaged in field exercises. Under the guidance of Hansi Flick, Barcelona ensured a balanced recovery for the squad.
After completing their workout, the team returned to Spain. They are set to resume preparations on Friday, gearing up for their La Liga match against Leganes, scheduled to kick off at 21:00 CET. This next test will further evaluate Barcelona’s form as they aim to maintain momentum in both domestic and international competitions.
