Brazil withdraws right-back Wesley from its World Cup squad due to a thigh injury, multiple outlets report. Reports say the injury rules Wesley out of the tournament. Brazil then call up Éderson as his replacement. BBC Sport and other coverage describe Éderson as a midfielder and note he is linked to Manchester United, while the Winnipeg Free Press and Channel NewsAsia also state that Éderson is replacing Wesley in the squad. Across the reports, the reason for the change is consistent: Wesley is injured with a thigh problem and cannot take part in the World Cup. The replacement is also consistently identified as Éderson, brought into the squad to fill Wesley’s spot. The reports do not indicate additional changes to Brazil’s squad beyond the replacement.
