Ex-Flamengo: who could replace Wesley in the Brazil squad | OneFootball

Wesley felt pain in his left thigh during Brazil’s friendly against Egypt

The Brazil National Team may need to call up replacements in the coming days. That’s because Wesley felt pain in his left thigh this Saturday (06), during the friendly between Brazil and Egypt. Given the situation, Paulo Henrique and Vitinho could replace him if he is cut from the squad at right back.

The Vasco and Botafogo players, respectively, are the only right-sided defenders on the Brazil National Team’s standby list. The situation, however, will only be resolved after a diagnosis of Wesley’s condition, as he had to be replaced by Danilo.

How did Wesley get injured?

The Flamengo academy graduate was in the national team’s attacking half when he caused a stoppage in the friendly, which is being played in the United States. The youngster crouched down with a pained expression and grabbed his left thigh, indicating a problem in that area.

And how did Brazil beat Egypt?

Of the four Flamengo players, only Lucas Paquetá started the friendly. As a result, Brazil and Egypt were level at 1-1 at halftime. Bruno Guimarães scored after an Egyptian defensive mistake. In a similar situation, however, Ziko equalized.

Is the World Cup close?

The friendly comes before both teams’ World Cup debuts. Hoping to have Wesley available, the Brazil National Team will play Morocco on June 13. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. (Brasília time).
