A major setback has struck both Raphinha and Brazil. Just as the FC Barcelona winger appeared to be rediscovering his best form at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, injury has struck once again.
The 29-year-old was forced off during the first half of Brazil’s 3-0 victory over Haiti at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia in the second round of Group C matches. Brazil top the group, but the win came at a heavy cost.
Raphinha left the pitch close to the 40th minute, visibly concerned and accompanied by Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar.
While the rest of the squad carried out recovery work on Saturday, Raphinha travelled to a medical centre in New Jersey for further scans.
