Raphinha and Wesley leave Brazil squad with thigh injuries

Raphinha and Wesley have withdrawn from Brazil duty with thigh injuries, the Brazilian federation announced on Friday, and been released back to their clubs.

Following a 1-2 defeat to France, Brazil continue their 2026 World Cup build-up against Croatia on Wednesday one April at two am. Carlo Ancelotti will be without two starters.

Raphinha was taken off at half-time and appeared to have an issue in his right thigh. Tests later confirmed the problem, and both he and his team-mate Wesley have muscle injuries.

The pair have left the camp to head back to Barcelona and Rome.

Ancelotti has opted not to call replacements for the final match of the window.
