Barcelona mendapat kabar buruk di tengah-tengah musim yang krusial setelah dikonfirmasi bahwa Raphinha mundur dari skuad Brasil. Pemain sayap Blaugrana itu terpaksa mundur dari pemusatan latihan tim nasional akibat cedera otot yang dialaminya saat kekalahan 2-1 dalam laga persahabatan melawan Prancis.
Beberapa hari terakhir ini, media di Brasil telah mengonfirmasi ketertarikan Inter untuk merekrut pemain tersebut secara gratis, dan sang pemain sendiri telah mengonfirmasi kepergiannya dari Red Devils
Pelatih kepala Brasil, Carlo Ancelotti, telah mengonfirmasi bahwa Raphinha ditarik keluar pada babak pertama saat kekalahan 2-1 dari Prancis pada Kamis lalu akibat masalah otot. Pemain sayap Barcelona tersebut, yang merupakan bagian penting dari trio penyerang Selecao, digantikan oleh Luiz Henrique setelah tampil menjanjikan pada 45 menit pertama di Amerika Serikat. Dengan semakin dekatnya Piala Dunia 2026, kondisi kebugarannya tetap menjadi perhatian utama bagi staf pelatih.
Piala Dunia kini tinggal dua setengah bulan lagi, dengan beberapa tim sedang melakukan persiapan terakhir menjelang putaran final, sementara tim-tim lain berupaya merebut beberapa slot terakhir di Amerika Utara selama jeda internasional bulan Maret. Begitu turnamen ini akhirnya dimulai, panggung akan terbuka bagi banyak pemain untuk menjadi pahlawan nasional, termasuk beberapa pemain muda paling menjanjikan di dunia sepak bola saat ini.
Pelatih timnas Prancis, Didier Deschamps, telah melontarkan peringatan keras kepada FIFA terkait penerapan jeda pendinginan wajib setelah timnya meraih kemenangan yang penuh perjuangan atas Brasil di Amerika Serikat. Meskipun meraih hasil positif di lapangan di Massachusetts, pelatih peraih gelar Piala Dunia itu merasa frustrasi akibat gangguan yang terus-menerus terhadap ritme dan alur permainan.
Tidak diturunkan dalam laga persahabatan melawan Prancis; sejak pelatih asal Italia itu menjabat sebagai pelatih timnas Brasil, ia telah bergantian memainkan tujuh penyerang yang belum pernah mencetak gol
