Raphinha to Undergo Intensive Treatment Following Injury Sustained in Brazil's Recent Victory
Brazilian forward Raphinha is set to undergo intensive treatment after sustaining a muscle injury to his right thigh during the team's World Cup win over Haiti, according to the Brazilian football confederation.
The Barcelona winger was forced to exit the game in the first half on Friday in Philadelphia.
While the duration of his absence remains uncertain, reports suggest he may recover in time for a potential last-16 match in two weeks.
Raphinha has a history of struggling with right thigh injuries, having dealt with various issues last season.
In his absence, coach Carlo Ancelotti may opt for Endrick, Rayan, or Gabriel Martinelli to fill the void.
Brazil, seeking to add to their four points from two games, will face Scotland on Wednesday in Miami, a match that could also mark Neymar's return to international action after a month-long calf injury.
