Wesley
22-Year-Old
Roma
Serie A
OUT
Injury Thigh
Est. Return 8/1/2026
Dropped from World Cup roster
Wesley has been dropped from the Brazil World Cup roster after suffering a thigh injury in a friendly, according to Bruno Cassucci of Globo.com.
ANALYSIS
Wesley is hitting the sidelines after suffering an injury in a friendly just days ahead of the sidelines, pulling up with an injury in his thigh. This is a brutal blow for the player and team, as he was likely to see the nod at right-back in most matches. He is only likely to miss a few weeks, but it is still not worth risking it for the major tournament, leaving Ederson to be called up in his place. Danilo and Roger Ibanez are now likely to battle it out for a starting role on the right of the defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Everton want him
Everton are ready to make a push to sign Wesley in the summer, but they're not the only EPL team chasing him, according to TEAMTalk.
ANALYSIS
Wesley has been placed on Everton's radar, but if the Toffees can't secure European action for the 2026/27 season, it'd be hard to see securing the services of the Brazilian full-back. That's because Arsenal and Liverpool are also keeping close tabs on the Roma star, who's expected to represent his country in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
