Mandatory Credit: James Lang-Imagn Images PHILADELPHIA -- Brazil attacker Raphinha departed in the 40th minute of Friday night's World Cup Group C clash against Haiti in Philadelphia with an apparent leg injury.
The 29-year-old FC Barcelona winger was making his second start of the tournament for manager Carlo Ancelotti after going the full 90 in a 1-1 draw against Morocco last Saturday.
He was a critical part of Brazil's most recent qualifying effort, scoring five of the Selecao's 24 goals while appearing in 13 of their 18 matches.
It was unclear what caused him to drop to his haunches shortly before halftime and eventually exit in favor of Rayan. He departed with his side leading 2-0 through Matheus Cunha's brace, before Vinicius Junior added a third in first-half stoppage time.
