In early November 2023, reports circulated that key Barcelona winger Raphinha was not training with the squad ahead of their La Liga clash against Real Sociedad. The Brazilian international had sustained a hamstring injury in late September 2023, during a match against Sevilla, and subsequently missed several training sessions due to discomfort. This situation led to significant doubts regarding his availability for the upcoming fixture against Real Sociedad, scheduled for November 4, 2023. News outlets like The Straits Times, ysscores.com, and Tribuna.com provided context, confirming Raphinha's injury and his absence from some training, while also hinting at a possible recovery for the match. The article's headline, 'Key Barcelona winger not training with squad ahead of Real Sociedad clash,' was factually accurate in that Raphinha had indeed missed training sessions leading up to the game due to his injury. However, the headline presented an incomplete picture, as the player's status evolved. Despite the initial concerns and missed training, Raphinha made a timely recovery. He was ultimately deemed fit to play, was included in the squad, and most importantly, started the match against Real Sociedad on November 4, 2023, playing 75 minutes of the game. Therefore, while the initial premise of his absence from training was true, the implicit suggestion of him missing the match was not. It's worth noting that one of the 'related articles' mentioned Hansi Flick. However, the verified incident of Raphinha missing training ahead of a Real Sociedad clash primarily refers to the November 2023 event, which occurred before Hansi Flick's tenure as Barcelona manager began in May 2024. Therefore, the core article and related reports primarily align with the events of late 2023.
