Earlier this day, Barcelona seemed to be receiving very good news after the Raphinha red card incident in the friendly match against Japan.

The Brazilian striker was charged with red card for protests following Japan’s late goal, which caused him to automatically be suspended for his next friend against Singapore.

This led many media to report that Brazil was considering the possibility of releasing Raphael and allowing him to return to Barcelona, as he could not yet play against Singapore.

However, in a decision that may cause much controversy, it seems that Brazil has no intention of releasing Raphael earlier, although he will not be available for the match against Singapore.

This has been confirmed by Rodrigo Caetano, executive director of the Brazilian Football Federation, who has announced that the representative does not want to free the football player.

Raphael stays. In principle, he will stay with us. It doesn’t make sense to leave, because he’s one of our leaders, he said, according to the Diario SPART.

This decision conflicts with unwritten understanding that nationals and clubs have traditionally had, as there have been many cases in the past when footballers were allowed to leave the gathering earlier if they were not available for the next match.

This is by no means the best news for Barcelona, for Raphael is now in danger of not only having any injury during training with the representative in Singapore but also of not being fully ready for the v. Villarrel.

It must be stressed that Brazil will face Singapore on Tuesday. Raphael will be allowed back to Barcelona only after the end of this match.

The distance between Singapore and Barcelona is about 1,000 miles [11,000 km], meaning a long and exhausting journey for the Brazilian. After his arrival, he will have to rest and recover physically in time for Barcelona’s match against Willarreal on Sunday.

This does not necessarily mean that Raphael will be absent from Willarreal, but clearly makes things difficult for Barcelona’s star, who would have preferred to return immediately to the Esportiva Center. /Express
