WORLD CUP | Ancelotti confirms Raphinha available off bench for Brazil vs Norway

Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti said Barcelona winger Raphinha will be available on the bench for Brazil’s World Cup round-of-16 match against Norway at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, but is “not quite at 100%” after a muscle injury. Raphinha has been out since June 19 with a hamstring injury suffered against Haiti and missed matches versus Scotland and Japan; he returned to full training on Friday and trained again Saturday, according to Yahoo Sports.
