Brazil's injury situation before the match against Norway: Lucas Paquetá may be absent
Brazil has difficulty in terms of strength before the match with Norway when Lucas Paquetá is not expected to play due to injury, while Neymar and Raphinha have not fully recovered.
The match between Brazil and Norway in the 1/8 round of the 2026 World Cup will take place on Sunday night, promising to be one of the most exciting confrontations. However, coach Carlo Ancelotti is facing many injury problems in his squad. According to information from Brazilian media, Lucas Paquetá, one of the team's brightest stars, will likely not play due to injury.
Gabriel Martinelli helped Brazil overcome Japan to advance to this round, while Erling Haaland also shone to help Norway eliminate Ivory Coast. These two teams will meet on Sunday night in New York. Norway has a strong squad, while Brazil is facing many difficulties. Neymar is still recovering from injury, while Raphinha also had to leave the field early in the match against Haiti and could not participate in the match against Japan.
Raphinha returned to training on Friday but Sunday night's match may come too soon for him. Lucas Paquetá's situation is even more serious, as he had to leave the field in the match against Japan because of a thigh muscle injury. Globo Esporte said it is likely that Paquetá will not be able to compete in this entire tournament, which will be a big loss for the yellow-green team. It is expected that Danilo Santos from Botafogo will replace Paquetá's position in midfield in the next match.
