Raphinha and Wesley ruled out of the Brazil squad through injury | OneFootball

The CBF announced this Friday that players Raphinha and Wesley have been withdrawn from the squad by coach Carlo Ancelotti. Both felt pain in the back of their right thigh during the 2-1 defeat to France last Thursday.

This morning, the players underwent imaging tests that confirmed muscle injuries. They have been released to continue treatment.

Raphinha and Wesley started against France in Boston. The Barcelona forward left the match at halftime and was replaced by Luiz Henrique. The Roma full-back went off in the 26th minute of the second half. Ibañez came on in his place.

Without the duo, the Brazilian National Team is preparing for the clash against Croatia. The friendly is scheduled for next Tuesday at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. This will be Ancelotti’s final test before drawing up the final squad list for the 2026 World Cup.
