Wesley ruled out for World Cup, player returns to Rome | OneFootball

Terrible news for Wesley.

The Roma winger will miss his first World Cup.

After the injury sustained against Egypt, the Brazilian underwent tests that revealed an adductor injury. In his place, Brazil called up Ederson.

This was a forced decision for coach Carlo Ancelotti, who, like everyone at Roma—from the fans to Gian Piero Gasperini—had hoped for a different outcome from today’s tests.

Just yesterday, Ancelotti spoke about Wesley after his injury: “I hope it’s nothing serious, that he receives the necessary treatment and can continue with us on this journey. But I don’t deny that there’s urgency and concern, should it be something serious.”

The recovery time will be assessed in the coming hours. It remains a tough blow for the player, who in just a few days has gone from joy at his first World Cup call-up to disappointment at his withdrawal.
