Embezzlements? Brazil may have problems in the round of 16 of the World Cup

The Brazilian team faces new injury problems on the eve of the round of 16 of the World Cup. Lucas Paquetá and Casemiro had to be substituted in the 2-1 victory against Japan this Monday (29), after feeling pain.

Paquetá asked for a substitution during first-half stoppage time and did not return for the final stage. He felt pain in his left thigh and started treatment while still on the bench. Casemiro, in the second half, felt pain in his left groin and was also substituted.

The new physical problems are added to Raphinha, who suffered an injury to her right thigh in the game against Haiti, in the group stage. The Barcelona player never returned to the field at the World Cup.

The list of athletes with physical problems was already extensive before the World Cup even started. Vanderson, for example, was unable to recover in time from an injury to his left thigh, suffered in March.

In April, Estêvão and Éder Militão also faced serious injuries, to the right thigh and the biceps femoris of the left leg, respectively. Rodrygo, in turn, suffered an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee in March, causing concern.

Shortly before the World Cup, Wesley was cut due to an injury to his left thigh, being replaced by Éderson in the final squad. Neymar, despite not being in full condition, with a recovering right calf injury, was kept on the list.
