What happened: Brazil will be without Raphinha for their World Cup Round of 16 meeting with Norway, with the Barcelona winger still not recovered from the muscle problem in the back of his right thigh. He was hurt in the group-stage fixture against Haiti and forced off before halftime. Carlo Ancelotti weighed including him, but the final medical assessment ruled him out.

Why it matters: Losing Raphinha strips Brazil of a first-choice attacker at the knockout stage, where margins tighten and depth is tested. It continues a difficult stretch for the forward, who has been managing recurring muscle issues at club and country level throughout the year.

What to watch: Watch whether Brazil get past Norway to keep a quarterfinal return in play, and for the next fitness update on Raphinha's individual training load.
