Raphinha returns to training; availability for Norway match uncertain

Raphinha has returned to on-field training for Brazil ahead of their World Cup Round of 16 match against Norway, providing a boost to the team. The Barcelona forward had been sidelined due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain sustained in a group-stage match against Haiti. Despite his progress, Brazil's coaching staff, led by Carlo Ancelotti, remains cautious about rushing his return. Ancelotti will assess Raphinha's condition during Thursday's training session, with uncertainty lingering over his participation in the upcoming clash.
