Ancelotti honest on Wesley after Brazil v Egypt: “It’s a shame” | OneFootball

Wesley will undergo tests with the Brazilian National Team this Sunday (07)

Coach Carlo Ancelotti has been given a new ‘headache’ for the Brazilian National Team’s preparation going forward. That’s because Wesley left the match against Egypt this Saturday (06) with severe pain in his left groin. Even so, the Italian coach remains hopeful of having the full-back available for the World Cup.

— With Wesley, we have to wait for the diagnosis tomorrow. He will undergo tests. He has a muscle problem. We have to wait. It’s a shame about Wesley’s injury. But we have players who can replace him. I think he will have time to recover and be with us at this World Cup; otherwise, we’ll have to choose someone else, but we have time to do that -, he said, before concluding:

— Danilo can play in every position. With Wesley’s injury, we need him at right-back. Ibañez can also play there, as he did against Panama. At the moment, those are the solutions for Wesley’s injury. We’ll wait until tomorrow and make the necessary decision -, Wesley concluded.

What happened to Wesley in Brazil vs. Egypt?

Wesley felt pain in his left groin in the first half, after a pass from Lucas Paquetá. On that play, the full-back fell to the ground showing clear pain and had to be substituted. As a result, coach Carlo Ancelotti brought on Danilo, a Flamengo player.

What is the Brazilian National Team’s next match?

The Brazilian National Team will now begin preparing for its World Cup debut. On Saturday (13), Brazil will face Morocco at 7:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
