Cut from the Brazil national team squad during this international break, right-back Wesley will spend ONE MONTH recovering from an injury.

Wesley felt pain in his thigh and was replaced by IbaƱez during Brazil’s 2-1 loss to France last Thursday (26).

The player underwent tests at Roma that confirmed the injury and the recovery timeline (one month).

The information was reported by journalist Nicolò Schira and by other Italian outlets.

As a result, Wesley will return to action between late April and early May — the same timeline as forward Raphinha, another player cut from the squad during this international break.

The World Cup will only begin on June 11, but head coach Carlo Ancelotti will have to announce the squad list on May 18.

In other words, Wesley will have little time to get back to 100% and secure his place on the final list.

Brazil will return to the field against Croatia in a friendly scheduled for Tuesday (31),Ā at 9 p.m., in Orlando, United States.

In that match, IbaƱez (Al-Ahli) is expected to start at right-back. Danilo (Flamengo) is another option among the call-ups.
