Brazil HubThe Brazil national team is facing a challenge with Lucas Paquetá's thigh injury. The midfielder underwent imaging tests and was diagnosed with a muscular injury in the posterior region of the left thigh.
What happened?
Paquetá felt a muscular discomfort in the first minutes of the match against Japan, last Monday, in Houston.
Why is this important for Brazil?
The absence of Lucas Paquetá represents a big headache for Carlo Ancelotti, who is already without Raphinha.
What comes next?
The Brazil national team will meet its opponent in the round of 16 of the World Cup on Tuesday. The next rival will be the winner of the match between Ivory Coast and Norway.
