Brazil's final friendly after Raphinha injury

Raphinha ruled out with a muscle injury; Pedro or Endrick to start for Brazil against India on Saturday.

Brazil closes its first friendly series after the 2026 World Cup against India on Saturday, with Barcelona forward Raphinha sidelined by a small muscle edema in his right thigh sustained during the second Australia match. Manager Carlo Ancelotti is testing Flamengo's Pedro and Real Madrid's Endrick as replacements, with Ancelotti emphasizing these friendlies are opportunities for young players to demonstrate their quality rather than definitive auditions for selection.
