“Yesterday I felt helpless, seeing my husband in pain, crying, and not being able to do anything to change the situation, not being able to be there to give him a hug. Deep in my heart, I felt the situation was serious, and it was like watching a dream that had become ours slip through our fingers,” she said, before concluding:

“I handle my own pain well, but when it’s the pain of someone I love, it’s much worse! I’m devastated, but today I decided to be strong to give strength to someone who needs it more than I do. You will come back better and even stronger, because I know how dedicated and hardworking you are, and how hungry you are to win,” Amanda França concluded.

What happened to Wesley in the Brazil vs Egypt match?

Wesley felt muscle pain in his left groin still in the first half of the friendly against Egypt this Saturday (06), after a pass from Lucas Paquetá. At the time, the full-back fell to the pitch showing clear pain and, as a result, had to be substituted.

As a result, tests carried out this Sunday (07) diagnosed a grade three injury in Wesley’s left thigh. Because of this, the former Flamengo player was ruled out of the World Cup. To fill the spot, coach Carlo Ancelotti called up Éderson, Atalanta’s (ITA) midfielder.

What is Brazil’s next match?
