Wesley ruled out of Brazil duty with thigh injury

Wesley has been excluded from Brazil's squad for the upcoming international break after suffering a right thigh strain. The Confederação Brasileira de Futebol announced the decision on the night of 19 September, omitting the Roma full-back from Carlo Ancelotti's list and naming Monaco's Vanderson as his replacement. Roma confirmed the nature of the injury in a statement: a thigh strain that, while not serious, requires Wesley to remain at Trigoria for recovery rather than travel with the national team for friendlies against Australia and India. Wesley played all 90 minutes of Roma's 2–2 draw against Inter at the Olimpico on 19 September, before the injury was diagnosed. The absence marks another setback in his international career; he previously missed the World Cup through injury. The timing offers Roma's medical staff a chance to manage his rehabilitation directly during the international window rather than waiting for his return from national team duties. The CBF's initial statement described Wesley only as "injured" without specifying the problem, leaving Roma to clarify the details themselves. Ancelotti had originally included Wesley in his squad list before the injury forced his withdrawal.

Wesley will not join Brazil's squad for upcoming fixtures after suffering a new injury, the Brazilian Football Confederation announced overnight. The Roma defender played the full 90 minutes in the recent match against Inter but has been withdrawn from international duty. Carlo Ancelotti, Brazil's coach, has called Vanderson of Monaco as his replacement. Wesley will miss three friendly matches scheduled by Brazil—two against Australia and one against India. The injury adds to a troubling pattern for the Roma player. Wesley missed a significant fixture last summer due to an injury, and has dealt with physical problems in recent weeks as well. Roma must now assess the extent of the new issue, which only emerged after Wesley completed the Inter match without showing obvious signs of concern. The club's medical staff will need to evaluate his condition and determine recovery timelines before his potential return to action. No details have yet been released about the nature of the injury or how long Wesley might be sidelined. The situation will require careful monitoring at Roma's training base at Trigoria, particularly given his recent injury history.

Wesley has been withdrawn from Brazil's squad due to a right thigh muscle injury, the Brazilian Football Confederation confirmed overnight. The Roma defender played the full 90 minutes in yesterday's big match against Inter before the injury forced his exclusion from the call-up made by manager Ancelotti. Vanderson of Monaco has been named as his replacement. Wesley's withdrawal marks another setback for the Roma full back, who has battled physical problems in recent weeks. He had received his initial call-up from Ancelotti earlier in the week, only to be cut from the squad at the last minute. He will now miss Brazil's friendly matches against Australia (twice) and India. The injury comes after Wesley missed an important tournament during the summer, an earlier absence he was forced to sit out.

Konstantinos Koulierakis has been called up by Greece coach Ivan Jovanovic for the start of the national team's Nations League A campaign, following his appearance against Inter yesterday when he came on in the second half. The Roma defender will feature in four upcoming matches against Serbia, Germany (twice) and the Netherlands as Greece enters a significant test of their progress. With Wesley reportedly unavailable due to a muscle complaint and unable to answer Brazil's call, Koulierakis will start for Roma in the coming period. The former Wolfsburg player is now a regular starter for the Giallorossi, making the Nations League fixtures an important opportunity to demonstrate his form at international level.
