Raphinha exits Brazil camp due to thigh swelling concerns
Raphinha, a 29-year-old player, departed from the Brazil national team camp on Wednesday as a precaution due to swelling in his right thigh, as confirmed by the Brazilian Football Confederation. His substitution at halftime during a match on Tuesday raised concerns in Barcelona-based media regarding the potential loss of a key player to injury.
Raphinha's fitness has been a concern, as he was limited to 33 club appearances last season due to various fitness issues. Notably, he missed four games in April because of a hamstring problem in the same leg, which he sustained while on international duty.
This history of injuries has heightened the anxiety surrounding his current condition.
