Barcelona ace Raphinha has suffered a bizarre injury blow after kicking a fridge in anger following the club’s draw with Manchester United in the Europa League.
The Brazilian winger was left frustrated after the Catalan giants were held to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Thursday night, and it appears his anger got the better of him.
According to reports in Spain, Raphinha was so angry after the game that he kicked a fridge in the dressing room, resulting in a foot injury.
The injury is not thought to be serious, but it is likely to keep the 24-year-old out of action for a few days.
It is not the first time that Raphinha has been involved in a bizarre incident. Last year, he was sent off for headbutting an opponent during a match against Real Betis.
Raphinha has been in impressive form for Barcelona since joining from Rennes in October. He has scored four goals and provided four assists in 15 appearances for the club.
The injury is a blow for Barcelona, who are already without Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele due to injury.
Barcelona are currently third in La Liga, four points behind leaders Atletico Madrid. They face a tough test on Sunday when they travel to face fourth-placed Sevilla.
It remains to be seen whether Raphinha will be fit to feature in the game, but it is unlikely that he will be risked if he is not 100% fit.
The incident is sure to be a lesson for Raphinha, who will no doubt be more careful with his emotions in the future.
