In between are Ferran Torres, 26, Joan García, 24, Pedri, 23, and Fermín López, 22. Seven players who already have at least one major team honor on their résumé.

      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Raphinha’s injury has once again put the spotlight on Marcus Rashford, who now has a golden opportunity to make his case and secure his place at Barcelona next season. With the Brazilian sidelined, the left wing is effectively up for grabs, &lt;b&gt;and the natural replacement is the English forward. &lt;/b&gt;So far this season, he has mainly featured when Raphinha has been unavailable and has never been an undisputed starter. If he can step up now, with a run of starts likely ahead, he could go a long way toward &lt;b&gt;ensuring he remains in blaugrana next year.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.as.com/soccer/rashfords-moment-f202603-n/" target="_blank"&gt;Seguir leyendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bad news for Raphinha.&lt;/b&gt; The Brazilian Football Confederation &lt;b&gt;confirmed&lt;/b&gt; in a statement that medical tests have revealed &lt;b&gt;a muscle injury in the hamstring&lt;/b&gt; of his right leg in &lt;a href="https://en.as.com/soccer/world-cup/brazil-vs-france-live-online-stats-scores-and-updates-international-friendly-f202603-d/" target="_self" rel="" title="https://en.as.com/soccer/world-cup/brazil-vs-france-live-online-stats-scores-and-updates-international-friendly-f202603-d/"&gt;Thursday’s friendly defeat to France&lt;/a&gt;. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti has also released the player from Brazil’s upcoming match against Croatia on Tuesday. Barça later revealed the winger would be &lt;b&gt;sidelined for an “estimated” five weeks&lt;/b&gt;, which will see him miss the LaLiga game at home to &lt;b&gt;Atlético Madrid&lt;/b&gt; and crucial &lt;b&gt;Champions League quarterfinal ties&lt;/b&gt; against the same opponent. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.as.com/soccer/raphinha-injury-update-how-long-barcelona-star-could-be-out-after-hamstring-setback-confirmed-f202603-n/" target="_blank"&gt;Seguir leyendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

A key figure at Manchester City under Pep Guardiola, &lt;b&gt;City previously showed no willingness to negotiate his departure&lt;/b&gt; at a reasonable price.

      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;LaLiga heads into the March break to a familiar soundtrack: Real Madrid and Barcelona once again trading accusations over refereeing decisions. &lt;b&gt;The latest to weigh in was Enric Masip, a member of Barcelona’s sporting commission, who claimed that VAR is applied differently depending on the club.&lt;/b&gt; “I’m always concerned about refereeing, because the same standard isn’t applied,” he said. But the data from this season tells a different story: interventions from the VOR have gone more often against Madrid (with a balance of –7) than Barcelona (+2 in their favor).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.as.com/soccer/var-report-shows-real-madrid-barcelona-discrepancies-laliga-teams-and-the-video-referee-f202603-n/" target="_blank"&gt;Seguir leyendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
