FC Barcelona News: 1 June 2016; Rafinha to miss Copa America with injury, Alen Halilovic out of Euro 2016

The Brazilian Football Confederation announced on Tuesday that FC Barcelona midfielder Rafinha will miss this summer's Copa America Centenario — in which Brazil is a participant — because of an injury.

Barcelona teenager Alen Halilovic will not feature at Euro 2016 after being left out of Croatia's final 23-man squad. The 19-year-old attacking midfielder, who spent the past season on loan at Sporting Gijon, was named in the 27-man provisional squad by coach Ante Cacic.

Former FC Barcelona captain Jose Mari Bakero loves the new Barça kit, which deliberately pays homage to the design worn by the team the year he and his fellow ‘Dream Team’ colleagues lifted the club’s first ever European Cup at Wembley.
