Raphinha leaves Brazil camp

Brazil national team star Raphinha was withdrawn from their squad on Wednesday due to swelling in his right thigh, according to the Brazilian Football Confederation. The 29-year-old was replaced at halftime during the team's 4-2 friendly victory over Australia on Tuesday, raising concerns among Barcelona-based media about potential injury issues.

Raphinha has faced fitness challenges in recent seasons, having played only 33 matches for his club last year due to health concerns and missing four games in April because of a hamstring injury in the same leg, sustained while representing Brazil internationally.
