And the first returns show that the Brazilian is suffering from a right hamstring injury. Bad news for those who had an interesting start to the season under the leadership of Xavi, who will have to give up the next Seleçao meeting.

On October 13, Brazil will face Venezuela before playing against Uruguay on the 18th. Matches that the FC Barcelona winger will not play, unlike David Neres. Indeed, the latter, formidable without being a starter at Benfica, was called according to Globo to replace Raphinha, unavailable like Caio Henrique in particular.
