Barcelona star confirms he underwent recent surgical procedure
Raphinha has revealed he brought forward surgery to remove a cyst in his left ear so he could be available for Brazil’s November friendlies.
The Barcelona winger is away on international duty with Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil ahead of fixtures against Japan and Singapore. Until recently, his availability for the two matches had been in doubt.
Speaking to the media on Friday amid questions about his commitment to the national team, the former Leeds United player confirmed that he had moved the procedure forward to make himself available.
Ancelotti is nevertheless expected to manage Raphinha’s minutes carefully over the coming days, after the attacker suffered an injury setback while on international duty in September.
