Leeds boss Marsch expects Raphinha not to join Brazil squad

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch expects Raphinha to stay during the international break.

Raphinha was called up by Brazil for their fixtures against Chile and Bolivia but will likely now stay in England after testing positive for covid.

When asked whether his talisman is staying put during the international break, Marsch said: “He has to, right? You're not allowed to travel with the restrictions so yes, we'll have to evaluate the situation with him.

“I know he's really eager to go with the national team as he should be. He's establishing himself with the Brazilian national team, which is amazing, and he's such a good player. He's such a good player."
