Raphinha to Miss Brazil’s Match Against Scotland With Thigh Injury

Brazil will be without Raphinha for its next World Cup match against Scotland, according to multiple international reports. The Barcelona midfielder, one of the Selecao’s standout players, is certain to miss the game after suffering a thigh muscle injury.

The update is a blow for Brazil, which had hoped Raphinha would be one of the players to lead the team toward its first World Cup title since 2002. He arrived at the tournament in excellent form and was expected to be central to Brazil’s attack.

Raphinha will now undergo intensive treatment in an effort to have him ready for the later stages of the tournament, should Brazil advance that far. Despite the injury, he will remain with the national team squad.

The report was published by Sport 5 on June 20, 2026, at 23:36, and concerns Brazil’s World Cup campaign.
