Brazil have lost Wesley to injury after Saturday's 2-1 win over Egypt, with the CBF confirming a left thigh adductor muscle problem and replacing him with Éderson.
Brazil have cut Wesley from their World Cup squad after scans confirmed a muscle injury in his left thigh adductor, the Brazilian Football Confederation said on Sunday.
The 20-year-old full-back was hurt during Brazil's 2-1 win over Egypt on Saturday and had to leave the field in tears after being substituted in the first half.
Injury confirmed
The CBF said Wesley was re-evaluated after the match and that the scan results confirmed the injury. Brazil then called up midfielder Éderson as his replacement for the tournament.
Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti had already said after the game that Wesley would undergo tests, but the result now leaves the squad with a confirmed change only days before the World Cup begins.
The injury is a setback for Brazil's preparations after a match that was meant to provide one of the final checks before the tournament.
What next
The CBF has not said how long Wesley will be sidelined. Brazil could still make further squad adjustments if needed before the tournament starts.
