What happened to Wesley in the Brazilian National Team?

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti is dealing with several absences in the Brazilian National Team squad during this FIFA window. After the 2-1 loss to France on Thursday (26), the ‘Seleção’ lost two more players for the clash against Croatia. They are Wesley, former Flamengo player, and Raphinha, from Barcelona (ESP).

Wesley and Raphinha were withdrawn from the Brazilian National Team due to injuries in the back of their right thighs. This Friday (27), the players underwent medical tests and, after that, were released to begin treatment at their clubs. Finally, it is worth noting that Ancelotti will not call up any players for their respective positions.

Yes! Wesley started at right back for Brazil against France. Playing the full 90 minutes, the former Flamengo player contributed both offensively and defensively. The player even won the foul that led to Dayot Upamecano’s red card. However, even with an extra man, the ‘Seleção’ was defeated 2-1 by the French.

DID ANY FLAMENGO PLAYERS FEATURE IN BRAZIL VS FRANCE?

Besides former Flamengo player Wesley, the club was represented by Léo Pereira and Danilo. The No. 4 was among Brazil’s starters, while the experienced defender remained an option on the bench.
