Ederson reveals chat with Wesley after World Cup omission | OneFootball

Éderson is already in the United States to work with the Brazil squad

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) announced the withdrawal of full-back Wesley, formerly of Flamengo, from the World Cup last Sunday (07), after an injury was confirmed. Replacing the defender, Éderson revealed that he spoke with the former Mais Querido player and lamented what happened.

— I wasn’t expecting any player to get injured. I even sent a message to Wesley, we know each other, we talk. He replied to me. It’s unfortunate, I feel very sorry for him, and I hope he’s in a good headspace and recovers quickly — said Éderson in an interview with CazéTV.

— As for me, I obviously have to be happy to be at a World Cup with the national team. I’m still a little surprised, but happy, and that’s what matters. Now it’s about enjoying the moment, making the most of it, and giving my best. We’ll see what the boss asks of me, but I’m ready for whatever it is and I’ll give my best, as I always have. It’s about stepping onto the pitch and representing Brazil — he concluded.

WHAT’S THE CONTEXT?

Wesley started the match against Egypt last Saturday (06) among the starters. However, the former Flamengo player felt pain and asked to leave the pitch still in the first half. As a result, the full-back’s injury was confirmed, leading to his withdrawal from the World Cup.

Therefore, the CBF announced last Sunday (07) Wesley’s replacement in the Brazil national team. The federation called up Éderson, an Atalanta (ITA) midfielder, who has already been signed by Manchester United (ENG) for next season.

WHEN DOES BRAZIL PLAY?

Now, without Wesley and with Éderson included, the Brazil national team is focused on its World Cup debut. That is because Brazil faces Morocco on Saturday (13), at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), in Boston. Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information about the match.
