The 29-year-old was substituted in the international in Brisbane, where he scored one of the goals from a penalty. It is now clear that a muscle injury in his thigh will prevent Raphinha from continuing to play, the Brazilian Football Confederation says.

Raphinha has made a strong start to the season at Barcelona. The team has been flying in La Liga, largely thanks to the Brazilian, who has been deployed as a central striker and has scored 12 goals in seven league matches.

It is unclear how long Raphinha is expected to be out with the injury.
