WORLD CUP | Brazil winger Raphinha forced off injured in first half vs Haiti

Brazil winger Raphinha was forced off with an injury concern in the first half of Brazil’s World Cup game against Haiti in Philadelphia, with the extent of the issue not yet known, according to Yahoo Sports. Matheus Cunha opened the scoring with a deflected effort and the Manchester United winger added another with a finish in the 36th minute before Raphinha went to ground late in the half and was replaced by Bournemouth winger Rayan. Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti had previously called Raphinha one of the five best players in the world, while Brazil are also awaiting Neymar’s return from a leg injury. Brazil’s final group-stage match is against Scotland on Wednesday, 24 June in Miami, with Morocco facing Haiti.
