The injuries will 'help' Raphinha so that he can claim with Brazil

The campaign 2023/2024 has begun of way very different to what Raphinha expected. With the game of Ousmane Dembélé to the PSG, the Brazilian had won more weight to turn into the extreme title of the Barça. In the debut in LaLiga EA Sports against the Getafe CF, the ex of the Leeds formed part of the eleven initial of Xavi and showed his quality in the minutes that played. Nevertheless, his season gave an unexpected twist because of his expulsion by the hit that him propinó to the defender Gastón Álvarez in the face.

This sanction prevented him play in the two following days against the Cádiz and the Villarreal. During these duels, the youngster Lamine Yamal took advantage of each opportunity that gave him the technician of Terrassa and with his fearless game, desparpajado and irreverent, seem to have him won the titularity to the '11' culé. This remained evidenciado in the last party against Osasuna, where Raphinha could be headline, but the Catalan trainer preferred to range again to the native of Esplugues of Llobregat and even when it decided opt by a relief in the position, the egarense has opted for giving him gone in to Ferran Torres in series. It seems that, at least for now, the minutes of the ex of the Rennes in the Barça will see reduced.

Raphinha Has serious possibilities to be headline with the 'verdeamarela'

However, Raphinha seems to have more luck in the Selection of Brazil. Although initially it was not in the list of summoned of Fernando Diniz for the parties against Bolivia and Peru, corresponding to the start of the eliminatory sudamericanas for the World-wide 2026, his situation changed because of the regrettable injury of Vinicius Junior in the party against the Celtic of Vigo, since from this, he went in like reemplazante of the extreme of the Real Madrid in the announcement of the 'Canarinha'.

Now, the destination has offered him another unexpected opportunity. Antony, another player that also could exert like right extreme, has been excluded of the announcement by part of the Confederçao Brasileira of Futebol (CBF) because of a process of investigation in his against by part of the Civil Police of São Paulo, related with supposed aggressions of violence of gender to his expareja, Gabriela Cavallin.

Rodrygo Outlines like his main competitor by the position

From this, the recently summoned has been Gabriel Jesus, a more associated player to the position of leading centre, by what would not represent a direct competition for the ex of the Leeds in his research for doing with the position. In fact, the majority of the summoned by Fernando Diniz in the front of attack manage mainly in the spearhead, as it is the case of Matheus Cunha of the Wolverhampton and Richarlison of the Tottenham.

In addition to these names, are Neymar Junior of the To the-Hilal, whose physical condition is uncertain to confront both parties, Gabriel Martinelli of the Arsenal, the one who could play by the left in case of the possible absence of the '10', and Rodrygo, the one who has more possibilities to litigate by the titularity in the right side, although it also could play by the left or even like mediapunta, depending of the context of the party and the decision of Fernando Diniz.
