Lucas Paquetá will undergo exams and is a concern for the remainder of the World Cup

Lucas Paquetá is a concern for the rest of the World Cup. The midfielder left the game against Japan, this Monday (29), in Houston, with pain in his left thigh. He must undergo exams this Tuesday (30), in Morristown, New Jersey, where the national team is based.

The procedure is the same as that adopted with Raphinha, who had an injury to her right thigh diagnosed after the victory over Haiti. The Barcelona striker was not cut and is undergoing treatment to try to play in the quarter-finals, if Brazil advances.

In the 2-1 win over Japan, Endrick replaced Paquetá, but Brazil lost 1-0 and needed to attack. Danilo Santos and Igor Thiago are also options, depending on the scheme Ancelotti opts for.

Brazil awaits the result of Ivory Coast x Norway to find out its opponent in the round of 16. The game will be on Sunday (5).
