Raphinha has joined the camp in England.

He can't train with them right? Given that he wasn't part of the official squad

Of course he can. It's not like an official pre-match list, just for information's sake. Brazil was eliminated on the 5th July, so he had his mandatory holidays of 21 days and should rejoin normally.
 
He's the last one who joins the team before the semifinalist of the WC join around 10.8. In reality only a handful of first team players get the preseason, the majority will have less than 2 weeks before the season starts, a week until Gamper. It's going to be a tricky start of the season, it probably worse for us than any other team in Europe, doubt any other team had that many players in the semis.

I think Atletico has close number to us, it was said they had more in the final. We had 2 players in total from those who lost semis
 
All those players who had the euros, CWC, WC in back to back summers. Those accumulative minutes and little rest. Will surely start to add up.

Good thing we missed the CWC from a non financial prospective.

Most other big team sports players regularly get 2+ months off.

Anyways welcome back.
 
Pre season is overrated anyway, lets be honest, mostly the teams which play well there are suddenly crap as soon as the season starts. Rather use this time to recover from the long season.

It's not about playing well in pre-season, but to get the players into the best physical shape and get the automatisms and tactics the coach wants going.....

Well, Raphi already knows Hansi's system very well....

That still leaves physical preparation and getting back automatisms after 3 weeks of holidays. You need to watch fewer TikTok videos so you can get enough concentration to read the whole argument, not just part of it :pique:.
