Brazil winger Raphinha's World Cup campaign has been thrown into uncertainty after he suffered another hamstring setback during the Selecao's 3-0 win over Haiti.

The Barcelona forward was forced off during the Group C clash in Philadelphia, leaving Brazil with a major fitness concern at a crucial stage of their campaign.

Raphinha's wife, Natalia Belloli, revealed the heartbreaking phone call she had with the winger after the match, saying she was left almost speechless after seeing the Brazil star deal with yet another injury blow.

The Brazilian Football Confederation confirmed after medical tests that Raphinha had suffered a muscle injury in the back of his right thigh, but Brazil have not sent him home from the tournament.

Instead, the winger will remain with the national team and undergo an intensive treatment programme with the medical staff, leaving his participation in the rest of the World Cup uncertain.
