Brazil midfielder Lucas Paquetá is ruled out of Brazil’s World Cup match against Norway due to a thigh injury, according to reports from multiple outlets. Both accounts link the problem to his previous appearance, when Paquetá limped off the field at halftime during Brazil’s last World Cup match. The injury is described as a thigh issue, and the decision is expected to affect Brazil’s midfield selection for the Norway fixture. With Paquetá unavailable, Brazil must adjust their lineup and midfield roles for the match as they move into the knockout stage. The reporting does not indicate the exact severity of the injury or a timeline for his return beyond the immediate match, but it establishes that he will not play against Norway. Overall, sources agree on the key points: the injury is to Paquetá’s thigh, it follows an in-game limp and halftime exit, and he is not available for the upcoming match against Norway.
