Ancelotti, Leave Raphinha Alone!
Sometimes I feel like Carlo Ancelotti is doing this on purpose.
Why call up Raphinha when he's still not fully fit for two friendlies against Japan and Singapore?
Raphinha got injured during Brazil's last international break and has only just returned. He hasn't even played a full 90 minutes yet, but Ancelotti still included him in the squad.
If this was the World Cup or Copa Amรฉrica, I'd understand. But these are just friendlies. Surely Brazil can beat Japan and Singapore without him.
I just hope Raphinha doesn't push himself too hard and return injured again. As Barcelona captain, he also has to know when to protect himself for the good of the club.
