It has been revealed whether Raphinha will recover in time for Brazil's next match

Brazil's attacking line could suffer a significant blow ahead of their upcoming friendly against Croatia.

Details: Barcelona winger Raphinha is unlikely to recover in time for the upcoming fixture. Recall that the player was forced to leave the pitch at halftime during the recent clash with France due to acute pain in his right thigh.

The national team's medical staff has taken control of the situation, but initial medical forecasts are far from optimistic.

Preliminary examinations revealed that the 29-year-old is suffering from severe muscle fatigue. Although a final diagnosis will be made after a follow-up examination in the next 24 hours, the general trend suggests that the coaching staff will opt not to risk the player's health and will give him a rest.

It's worth noting that the friendly against Croatia will see the Seleção take the field on Wednesday, April 1, at 02:00 Central European Time.

Reminder: Barcelona has offered Ferran Torres to Manchester United.
