Brazil’s Raphinha to miss Scotland match; Neymar may go 90
NEW YORK: Brazil will be without a key part of their attack for their Wednesday match against Scotland in Miami Gardens, Florida, as Raphinha will be sidelined due to a hamstring injury. The Selecao could see the return of another star, though, as Neymar has recovered from a calf injury and is available to play the entire game if needed, according to Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti. Raphinha, 29, exited in the 40th minute of Brazil’s most recent match, a 3-0 victory over Haiti on Friday. Asked who might fill in for the Barcelona winger, Ancelotti said Tuesday, “We’re thinking of nothing else but playing a good match with the best possible lineup. The same goes for the forward. We have a clear idea of who will replace Raphinha.

Neymar expected to return from right calf injury and play for Brazil in World Cup against Scotland
PHILADELPHIA: Neymar is expected to return from a right calf injury and play for Brazil in its final World Cup group match, coach Carlo Ancelotti said Friday night. Neymar missed Brazil’s first two games of the tournament, including Friday’s 3-0 win over Haiti. Ancelotti said Neymar would go through individual training on Saturday, train with the team on Monday and “will be available” for Brazil when it closes Group C play against Scotland on Wednesday in Miami Gardens, Florida. Neymar is Brazil’s career scoring leader with 79 goals in 129 international appearances. The 34-year-old midfielder has yet to practice in full sessions with the team since reporting to Brazil’s squad while nursing the calf injury. Looking to play in his fourth World Cup, Neymar had tests on his calf last Monday to determine the progress of the injury that he sustained while playing for Brazilian club Santos on May 17. There was widespread debate in Brazil over whether Neymar, whose first World Cup was on home soil in 2014, should have been called up for the tournament.
