Barcelona midfielder Rafinha has posted a message on social media as he continues his recovery from a knee injury -- he has now been out of action for five months. 

Reports say his recovery is not going as had been hoped, which is perhaps the reason to his enigmatic post. 

Rafinha has not yet been able to feature under new Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde due to the injury he sustained against Granada on Apr. 3. 

However, he is not giving up and is doing all he can at the club's training ground in Sant Joan Despi to get himself fit again. 

For now, he has to be patient and keep on working hard, while watching his team-mates from the sidelines at Camp Nou. 

"You fall down, you get back up #workinsilence," he wrote, perhaps summing up his mood at the moment. 

 

Remember thta Rafinha hopes to make a recovery and to force himself into the Brazil squad for next summer's World Cup in Russia.
