Report: Barcelona's Rafinha close to return

A report claims that Brazilian international Rafinha has been given the all-clear to return to the fold for Barcelona.

Brazil international Rafinha has reportedly been given the all-clear to return to first-team training for Barcelona.

The midfielder has been out of action for the last six months with knee ligament damage and it was initially thought that the 23-year-old, who underwent surgery in late 2015, would struggle to return this season.

However, according to Mundo Deportivo, Rafinha has been given a clean bill of health and will be fit to play a part for the Catalan outfit in the final months of the campaign.

The former Spain youth international, who is the brother of Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago, made 36 appearances for Barcelona last season.
