Raphinha back in training, Paquetá out for Norway clash
Raphinha returned to full training with the group on Friday ahead of Brazil's round of 16 clash against Norway on Sunday (1). The Barcelona winger had been working separately earlier in the week, but he is now back in contention for the knockout opener. Lucas Paquetá, however, will miss out through injury. Rayan, the 19-year-old forward, trained with the squad and could see minutes off the bench. Brazil go into Sunday's match at the World Cup with their attack bolstered by Raphinha's return, but Ancelotti will have to plan without his midfield orchestrator.
