FIFA Compensation Offered to Barcelona for Raphinha Injury

Raphinha suffered the setback while playing for Brazil against France, leaving Barcelona frustrated with the timing of the international break. Should the Brazilian miss more than 28 days, the club will be eligible for compensation under FIFA's protection programme. Hansi Flick and the Barcelona board are reportedly furious over the player's exposure in a meaningless friendly. With the season and World Cup approaching, the club views the injury as a major blow to their campaign despite the potential financial relief.
