Ex-Flamengo Wesley has tests today, could miss Brazil's World Cup squad | OneFootball

Wesley had to leave the field during Brazil vs Egypt

The Brazil national team beat Egypt this Saturday (06), 2-1, in its final warm-up friendly before the World Cup. However, it was not all good news for Brazil fans, as Wesley left the field with pain in his left leg. As a result, the former Flamengo full-back will undergo tests this Sunday (07).

As soon as he left the field, Wesley put ice on his left groin and broke down in tears on the bench. In addition, the Roma (ITA) full-back left Huntington Bank Field with a noticeable limp. Therefore, the former Flamengo player will undergo tests this Sunday (07), and if the injury is serious, he is expected to be ruled out of the 2026 World Cup.

What happened to Wesley during Brazil vs Egypt?

Wesley felt pain in his left groin still in the first half, after a pass from Lucas Paquetá. On that occasion, the full-back fell to the ground in visible pain and had to be substituted. As a result, coach Carlo Ancelotti brought on Danilo, a Flamengo player.

Who could replace Wesley in the Brazil national team?

It is worth noting that if Ancelotti decides to cut Wesley from the squad, the coach will only be able to call up players who were already on the Brazil national team preliminary list. Therefore, Paulo Henrique of Vasco and Vitinho of Botafogo are the Italian coach’s options.

What is the Brazil national team’s next match?

The Brazil national team will now begin preparing for its World Cup debut. On Saturday (13), Brazil will face Morocco at 7:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Brazil and Morocco through its website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), SporTV (pay TV), GE TV (YouTube), Cazé TV (YouTube), SBT (free-to-air TV) and N Sports (pay TV) will broadcast the Brazil national team’s opener.
