The Brazilian midfielder's World Cup is over!
Bangla Press Desk: Sad news in a happy time. Brazil did not enjoy the story of a great comeback against Japan properly.
Lucas Paqueta, who got a ticket to the last 16 with a 2-1 win, got injured on the night.
Brazil may have heard bad news about Paqueta, who left the field after digging. Although the Seleção did not say how serious the injury is. Only said that after tests, he was diagnosed with an injury to the muscle in the back of his left thigh.
The Brazilian Football Federation wrote in a statement, ‘Tuesday’s tests confirmed that Paqueta had an injury to the muscle in the back of his left thigh. He will be under close medical supervision. The goal is to get him back on the field as soon as possible.’
Although the Brazilian Federation did not give details about Paqueta’s injury, the country’s media and Globo reported that the Flamengo midfielder could be out of the field for up to three weeks.
He could be found in the final. If Brazil makes it to the final on July 19, then.
That return also depends on how quickly Paqueta improves. Although the 28-year-old midfielder's return is uncertain, Brazil will not drop him from the squad. Globo reported this.
However, the news outlet confirmed that he will not be able to play in the last 16 match against Norway on Sunday.
Before Paqueta, Rafinha is currently out of the field due to injury. Before him, the five-time world champions' World Cup mission began with one injury after another. Brazil did not have stars like Rodrigo, Estevao and Militao in the World Cup due to injuries.
