Raphinha had to go off at half-time of the match and has been ruled out of Brazil’s next game against Croatia. The forward will now return to Barcelona to start treatment.
Here’s the official statement from the CBF:
“Athletes Raphinha and Wesley were called up this Friday (27) by coach Carlo Ancelotti. Both felt pain in the posterior region of the right thigh during the match against France.
“On Friday, the athletes underwent imaging tests that confirmed muscle injuries. The players are released to follow the treatment. No other athletes will be called to replace them.”
There’s still no word yet on the severity of Raphinha’s injury and how much time he’ll miss.
