Brazil's Rafinha withdrew from the World Cup group stage match against Haiti due to an injury sustained in the first half. The forward was replaced at the 40-minute mark after sitting down on the pitch and requiring medical staff assessment.
The injury occurred while Brazil controlled the match at 3–0, having scored through Mateus Cunha (23rd, 36th) and Vinicius Junior (45+3). Rafinha's departure required tactical adjustment during the remainder of the group fixture, reducing Brazil's attacking rotation options.
The forward's injury may impact squad availability for Brazil's remaining matches in the group stage. Recovery progress will be monitored by the coaching staff as they prepare for subsequent fixtures.
Rafinha's absence reduces Brazil's forward rotation depth and squad options for remaining group matches, potentially affecting tactical flexibility in knockout progression.
