  "account": "Brazil announced on Wednesday that they will not replace injured forward Raphinha following their 4-2 victory over Australia. The player was substituted during the match after undergoing imaging tests that revealed a minor muscle edema on the back of his right thigh. The Brazilian Football Confederation stated that the decision was made as a precaution to ensure Raphinha's speedy recovery. They will not be calling up a replacement for their friendly match against India on Saturday, which marks the team's final game of the international break. Brazil also drew with Australia 1-1 on Friday. Raphinha, who has scored 15 goals in 10 games for both club and country, is expected to continue his recovery process at his club in Spain.",
