Brazilian forward Wesley has been officially ruled out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to an injury, according to team officials. The player, whose full name is Wesley Fonseca, sustained the injury during a training session earlier this week.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed the news on June 7, 2026, stating that Wesley will not be able to recover in time for the tournament, which begins on June 11, 2026. The CBF has not yet announced a replacement for the squad.
Wesley, 24, had been a key part of Brazil's attacking lineup during the qualifiers, scoring three goals in eight appearances. His absence is a significant blow to the team's chances in the competition.
