Wesley injured on Brazil duty, World Cup in doubt
Your right-back Wesley suffered a muscle injury during Brazil's 2–1 friendly win over Egypt on Saturday. He left the stadium limping and in tears, with his World Cup place now hanging in the balance.
Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti addressed the situation: "Regarding Wesley, we have to wait for the diagnosis tomorrow. He will undergo tests. It's a muscular problem. I think he will have time to recover and be with us at this World Cup, otherwise we have to choose another, but we have time to do that." (1) (2)
The timing is brutal. Brazil's World Cup campaign starts in just one week, and Roma need a fully fit Wesley for the Champions League season ahead. The next 24 hours of medical assessments will tell the full story.
Totti didn't see Champions League coming
Francesco Totti has admitted he never expected Roma to qualify for the Champions League this season. The club legend spoke glowingly about Claudio Ranieri's impact in an interview, saying he was surprised by how far the team came. (4)
It is a sentiment plenty of fans share. Ranieri took a squad lacking depth in key positions and delivered Roma's best Serie A finish in nearly a decade.
