Brazil will be without a key part of their attack for their Wednesday match against Scotland in Miami Gardens, Fla, as Raphinha will be sidelined due to a hamstring injury.
The Selecao could see the return of another star, though, as Neymar has recovered from a calf injury and is available to play the entire game if needed, according to Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Raphinha, 29, exited in the 40th minute of Brazil's most recent match, a 3-0 victory over Haiti on Friday.
Asked who might fill in for the Barcelona winger, Ancelotti said Tuesday, "We're thinking of nothing else but playing a good match with the best possible lineup. The same goes for the forwards. We have a clear idea of who will replace Raphinha. There's no point worrying about (yellow) cards."
