00:00Great news, huh? Rafinha may return to training with the ball with the Brazilian national team, alongside his teammates.
00:06The striker was injured on June 19th against Haiti.
00:10He injured his right hamstring, and underwent tests the following day after the game.
00:15that injury was indeed confirmed, which ended up taking him out of the rest of the competition.
00:20However, now that the Round of 16 match against Norway is approaching, Rafinha can return to training.
00:27He is unlikely to be included in the squad for the match; he might even be on the bench.
00:32But he shouldn't play in that game and should only be ready for the quarter-finals, should Brazil advance.
00:38And it will pass.
00:39Yes, that moment is approaching, and it came at a good time because of Lucas Paquetá's injury.
00:43who is unlikely to return to play in any more games of this World Cup.
00:48Rafinha is a very important player, he's been playing great football, he was one of the main players for Barcelona and in the world.
00:56right?
00:56Rafinha truly won La Liga in Spain and became that iconic player for Barcelona.
01:03And in the Brazilian national team, he was still not living up to expectations.
01:07Not only him, but the team as a whole hadn't been performing very well.
01:10Interestingly, after Rafinha's injury, the team improved, especially with Rayan coming on, right?
01:14Rafinha lost his position in the starting lineup.
01:18We hope he recovers well and comes back in full force, right?
01:22With slightly less responsibility, coming off the bench,
01:26Who knows, Rafinha might still be able to help the Brazilian national team a lot in this next stage of the World Cup.
01:31Which is what everyone expects, right?
01:32After the round of 16, the game that takes place on Sunday at 5 pm is between Brazil and Norway.
01:38Brazil will face Haaland there, Norway's Haaland, one of the best strikers in the world.
01:43Gabriel Magalhães, the defender, is already used to facing Haaland, it's going to be a good match, right?
01:48Magalhães playing for Arsenal will certainly make for a good matchup, right?
01:53A good duel between the two.
01:55So, what do you think this game is going to be like?
01:58Will Brazil be able to beat Norway?
