Raphinha forced off against Haiti with apparent injury

Carlo Ancelotti will be crossing his fingers heading into the weekend regarding the fitness of Brazil star Raphinha. 


The Barcelona ace was forced to leave the match against Haiti early on Friday after just 38 minutes played. 

Raphinha, who had a goal ruled out for offside in the first half, has shown he's eager to repeat the form he displayed in LaLiga while wearing the colours of his country. 

However, he went down to the ground and waved to the physios, who ultimately opted not to take any chances with whatever issue he felt he had.

According to Brazilian outlet Globo, the 29-year-old may have suffered a muscle injury, given he placed his hand on the back of his right thigh.

Next up for Ancelotti's side is Scotland, which will prove a tough test for both teams.
