Without Raphinha, Brazil trains aiming for Scotland

The Brazilian national football team held its latest training session in Miami, focusing on preparations for their upcoming match against Scotland. Notably absent from the practice was winger Raphinha, who is sidelined with a muscle injury in his right leg. This injury rules him out of the Scotland game and may keep him out of action for several days, with speculation suggesting he could miss the round of 16 if Brazil advances.

Brazil completed its most recent training session with the objective of overcoming Scotland this Wednesday in Miami, a practice in which Raphinha was not present due to injury, but with the presence of Alisson, who trained without problems after having done differentiated work on Monday to manage his physical effort.

In contrast to Raphinha's absence, goalkeeper Alisson participated in training without issue. He had previously done separate work on Monday to manage his physical exertion. Forward Neymar also showed positive signs, training with intensity after recovering from his own calf injury. The session took place under surprisingly cold conditions in New Jersey, with temperatures dipping below twenty degrees Celsius, catching players like Gabriel Martinelli and Bruno Guimarães off guard.

During the fifteen minutes open to the press, the team engaged in rondos and activation exercises in a relaxed atmosphere. Brazil currently shares the lead in Group C with Morocco, both teams having accumulated four points. Brazil's final group match is against Scotland.

In the case of the Barcelona player, his partial absence from the World Cup is linked to a muscle injury in his right leg that completely rules him out for the match against the Scots; however, it is speculated that he could miss several days of activity.

To secure the top spot in the group, Brazil needs to win its match and hope for a favorable result in the other group game. Finishing first would allow them to maintain their current base of operations in New Jersey and potentially face a more accessible opponent in the next phase of the tournament.

Unlike the aforementioned, Neymar showed an evolution after overcoming his calf injury, participating intensely in the exercises.
