Brazil's Raphinha injury update: Will he face Norway?

The Brazil national team may have Raphinha back in the squad for the World Cup round of 16 against Norway. The attacker is recovering from injury and has increased his chances of being called up.

What happened?

Raphinha took another important step in his recovery from injury and has been working on his running, speed shots, and has responded positively to the activities.

Why is this important for Brazil?

The physical evolution of the player is viewed with optimism and Raphinha is already feeling little pain. However, there is still no definition on his use against Norway.

What comes next?

The technical committee is working with caution and is adopting the same strategy used previously with Neymar. Carlo Ancelotti is monitoring Raphinha's progress daily and will receive new medical evaluations throughout the week before making a final decision.

The expectation is that Raphinha will be called up, but his use during the match will depend on his physical evolution in the next training sessions and the final release from the medical department.
