Brazil could be facing another major setback after Raphinha was forced off with a suspected hamstring injury during the Seleção’s 3-0 win over Haiti.
The Barcelona winger left the pitch before halftime in visible discomfort, immediately raising concerns about his availability for Brazil’s final Group C showdown against Scotland. The Brazilian Football Confederation has confirmed Raphinha will undergo further assessment, with the full extent of the injury still unknown.
With Neymar expected to return for the Scotland match, head coach Carlo Ancelotti has another attacking option available. However, losing Raphinha would still be a significant blow after the winger played a key role in Brazil’s build-up play throughout the tournament.
For now, Brazil remain optimistic, but until scan results are released, Raphinha’s status for the Scotland clash remains in doubt—and fans will be anxiously awaiting an official update.
