Brazil is encouraged by Raphinha’s return to on-field training after a hamstring injury, but his participation in the upcoming World Cup Round of 16 match against Norway remains uncertain. The Barcelona forward, who suffered a Grade 1 strain during a group-stage game, has been closely monitored and underwent intensive rehabilitation. Despite positive recovery signs, Brazil’s coaching staff is cautious and may delay his return to avoid aggravating the injury. Further assessment during Thursday’s training could determine his availability for the match.
