Raphinha has already returned from his latest hamstring injury and is currently playing for Barcelona again as of January 2026.

Quick Scoop

  • Barcelona initially ruled Raphinha out for around three weeks with a hamstring problem, and there were reports he might only be back after the November international break.
  • He completed his recovery and made his comeback around late November, featuring again after nearly two months on the sidelines.
  • By January 2026 he is not just back, but in strong form, having started several matches in a row and contributing multiple goals and assists ahead of the Spanish Super Cup final.

In short: if you are asking “when will Raphinha return?”, his return has already happened, and current discussion around him is about match fitness and form rather than a pending comeback.
