Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed Eduardo Camavinga will be fit for their Champions League trip to Manchester City.
Los Blancos warmed up for their semi-final second leg at the Etihad Stadium with a late 1-0 La Liga win over Getafe.
Ancelotti made eight starting changes at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, with Camavinga being one of the three players retained from the 1-1 first leg draw with City.
The French international was moved into his preferred midfield role after weeks of covering at left back, but he was withdrawn in the final minutes with an ankle issue.
Camavinga was pictured with an ice pack on his leg at full time, but Ancelotti insisted he would be ready to take on City.
"It’s just a blow, which bothers him a bit. He’s 20 years old, and he will recover soon", as per reports from Marca.
Ancelotti is ready to name the same starting XI in the reverse fixture, with the rested players expected to be fit in time to travel.
#Barcelona may look to sell Raphinha back to the Premier League after one season.
Due to their precarious financial situation, Barcelona will be forced to make hard decisions over the next few weeks. While plans are being made to bring players in, significant sales will also be required in order to fund arrivals.
Barcelona have submitted their viability plan to La Liga, which they expect to be approved, and in that, they are likely to have made assurances about generating a specific amount from player sales.
Several players have been linked with leaving, including Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, and Franck Kessie. The former pair are not particularly interested in leaving Barcelona, which could mean that Raphinha is shown the door.
The Brazilian has been a valuable player this season, especially in the absence of Ousmane Dembele, but his status as a regular starter is not assured for next season, especially if Lionel Messi does return.
Barcelona could entertain offers for Raphinha, who has attracted interest from Chelsea and Newcastle United, among others, and according to Diario AS, they could look to sell him on a deadline.
With Deco in line to take over from Mateu Alemany as Director of Football, Barcelona could look to ship Raphinha out before the Portuguese’s appointment is official so as not to show favoritism. Currently, Deco represents Raphinha, although he would have to give that up if he took the job at Barcelona.
Raphinha’s sale would allow Barcelona to generate significant funds in order to help balance their books, and it appears that his time in Catalonia could be up after just one season.
