WHAT HAPPENED TO WESLEY WITH THE BRAZIL NATIONAL TEAM?

Wesley had been Brazil’s starting right back in the most recent matches under Ancelotti. In the friendly against Egypt on Saturday (06), the Roma (ITA) player started among the 11, but had to be substituted due to pain in his left leg.

The incident happened 15 minutes into the first half. At first, the medical staff treated him in an attempt to get Wesley back into the match. However, the fullback was unable to continue and was eventually replaced by Danilo, of Flamengo. With the injury confirmed, the player has been withdrawn from the World Cup. Éderson will take his spot.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S NEXT MATCH?

Brazil’s next match will be its World Cup opener against Morocco next Saturday (13). In short, the ball starts rolling at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) in New Jersey, United States. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the details of the clash on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media.
