Flick confirms return of Barcelona duo Raphinha, De Jong

Hansi Flick said Raphinha and Frenkie de Jong have recovered from injury and could feature against third-placed Real Betis on Saturday. Raphinha, who has scored 14 goals in eight appearances this season, missed Barcelona’s matches against Getafe and Galatasaray after picking up a knock on international duty. De Jong has yet to play this season because of a knee problem, but Flick said he is training well and could get some minutes. Barcelona then visit Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday before hosting Real Madrid five days later.
