Raphinha could return to Brazil squad for November friendlies

Barcelona forward Raphinha is in line for a recall to the Brazil squad for their November friendlies, despite recently recovering from injury.

The 29-year-old left the Brazil camp early during the previous international break. The Barcelona captain had been expected to return quickly, but complications delayed his recovery and he only resumed training in recent days.

According to Sport, Carlo Ancelotti is highly likely to include Raphinha in Brazil’s squad for their next international camp. The squad will be announced on 29 October.

Brazil will face Japan in a friendly on 14 November before playing Singapore three days later.
