Before the Confederations Cup, Brazil is set to face England in a friendly at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro. However, there are concerns about the availability of Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck for the match at the legendary stadium, which has been completely renovated for the 2014 World Cup.
Welbeck reportedly had limited training on Friday, and English media sources suggest that the player of Ghanaian origin is uncertain to lead the English attack against the Seleção. It’s noted that Welbeck did not participate in the match against the Republic of Ireland last Tuesday in London, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Injuries or uncertainties regarding players’ fitness are common in the lead-up to international matches, and the final decision on Welbeck’s participation may depend on his fitness assessment closer to the match day.
