Coach Carlo Ancelotti has one more concern during this FIFA international break. Forward Raphinha felt muscle pain in his right thigh during the Brazil National Team friendly against France this Thursday in Boston and will be reevaluated.
The player left the match at halftime, making way for Luiz Henrique. He will undergo medical tests this Friday and could be ruled out of the game against Croatia, scheduled for next Tuesday.
Even with a one-man advantage from the start of the second half, Brazil was beaten 2-1 by France. Mbappé and Ekitike scored for the French, while Bremer pulled one back.
The Brazil National Team is now preparing for the clash with Croatia. The friendly is scheduled for next Tuesday at 9 p.m. Brasília time at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. It will be Ancelotti’s final test before naming the final squad for the 2026 World Cup.
