However, reports from ge indicate that the Brazil national team coaching staff remains hopeful for Raphinha’s participation in a potential round of 16 match.
According to journalists Bruno Cassucci and Cahê Mota, imaging tests revealed “nothing too serious,” yet the national team’s medical staff intends to monitor the injury closely in the coming days.
The caution stems from the recent nature of the injury, as swelling and edema may hinder a more precise diagnosis.
Brazil will compete again next Wednesday (24) against Scotland in Miami, USA, at 7 p.m. (Brasília time).
