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.

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.
