After a poor start of season, Philipppe Coutinho had foot and half out of the Glass of the World. Now and after a new muscular injury, the player has remained definitively without possibilities to assist to the most important tournament
Philipppe Coutinho Will not be in the definite list of the 26 international that Tite will carry to the World-wide of Qatar and that will announce this Monday in a press conference in Rio de Janeiro. The mediocampista suffered a muscular injury in the right leg that, according to the Brazilian channel 'TNT Sports', will force him to be of drop some six weeks. This Sunday no longer was summoned by Unai Emery and did not participate of the triumph (3-1) in front of the Manchester United.
"Coutinho Is lesionado in the cuádriceps. I do not know how long it will be of drop, but could not play and does not go to play until after the stop. It is a muscular injury", declared the Spanish trainer after the historical victory of 'the villains' in front of the United. In the new stage that begins with the Basque at the head of the bench, Coutinho antojaba key figure in the diagrams of the team of Birmingham, but will have to expect at least for the month of December.
Certainly the injury of Coutinho can not consider like a setback for the Seleçao, since the midfield player carioca, that is not playing with regularity in his club, had very difficult to be in Qatar. In fact, no longer it was called in the last friendly of Brazil in September, when it confronted to Ghana and Tunisia, in a mini turns by French territory.
This season, in 13 official parties with the Aston Villa, has not marked neither a goal neither has given any assistance. His place in the World-wide will be very probably occupied by Éverton Ribeiro, that has done a big final of season with the Flamengo, with which has proclaimed champion of the Glass do Brazil and of the Glass Libertadores of America.
A list that follows expanding
The drop of the exjugador of the FC Barcelona will not be the only in these previous parties to the Glass of the World. Other players like Diogo Jota, Pedro Net, N'Golo Kanté, Paul Pogba, Love Kalinic, Ben Chilwell or Swindle Werner, some of the others big names that will not contest the World-wide of Qatar 2022. Some selections already have asked to the leagues free to his players before the planned date to avoid a plague of injuries before the big appointment. For the moment, there is not agreement for this.
