Rafinha Alcantara

Good part is that if we win the Villareal - Madrid double, when can play Rafinha back into match rythm until the end of the season in La Liga and keep our main starters more fresh for the CL siege.

It's gonna be nice to see his flair next to Neymar's again. One scene in my mind that sticks out is Rafinha rolling the ball with his foot to go around a defender before passing it to Neymar, who then did the same thing to another defender.

Such a shame that we have these two games coming right when he's finally fit.

It was truly unfortunate, he was on a roll before his injury and would have played a lot and probably really stepped up like Sergi Roberto.
Now we need to get him playing again, hope the injury hasnt affected him too much.
Really great to have him back though, our bench is looking strong.

his injury just like messi's was a blessing .. no way Sergio Roberto would have been unleashed without rafinh's injury .. Ra was the first choice of substitution before the Rome game

Sergi Roberto was already shining as an rb though before Rafinha got injured.

true .. i just feel the injury enhanced his chances of playing in midfield more often

Really hoping that the injury didn't affect his game.Glad he's finally back!

Is there any chance that he will play a few minutes in the Classico?

Probably, and hopefully, not.

Almost as likely as Alvaro Arbeloa scoring a hat trick.

Rafinha was subbed on with the U23 Team playing his First minutes vs South Africa.

I thought he was just going to train with them, not play. I'm watching the game btw.

He assisted Andreas Pereira's goal.

Thought the same. Maybe if we trash RM again, he will get some minutes at the end.
