Raphinha's current condition

Raphinha has just returned to training with the Brazilian national team after a hamstring injury, but his availability for the round of 16 remains a big question mark.

Raphinha has only recently recovered from a hamstring injury.

Previously, the Barcelona star suffered a grade 1 hamstring injury in his right leg during the match against Haiti in Group C of the World Cup on June 20th. This incident forced him to sit out two consecutive matches against Scotland and Japan .

Although the expected recovery time is two weeks, the "Selecao" coaching staff is maintaining maximum caution. Specifically, coach Carlo Ancelotti and his colleagues will not rush Raphinha back to playing sooner than the medical schedule.

This decision is based on Raphinha's rather extensive history of muscle injuries throughout the past season. The Brazilian national team's top priority now is to ensure his full recovery and avoid any risk of recurrence.
