Raphinha continues his recovery from the injury sustained in the match against Haiti during the 2026 World Cup.
Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti said the player is progressing well, though not fully recovered. According to Ancelotti, Raphinha might be included on the bench for Brazil’s Round of 16 match against Norway and could play a few minutes.
"He has recovered very well and quickly, and we are happy because Raphinha is very important for the team," Ancelotti stated.
The match between Brazil and Norway is scheduled in New Jersey on Monday. Raphinha is likely to be part of the squad, but the final decision regarding his playing time will be made close to the game.
Barcelona will proceed carefully with the player’s health, avoiding risks in his participation in upcoming matches.
