Specifically, the back of the right thigh, according to a statement released by CBF. The length of his absence has not been disclosed, but CBF officials told MARCA it could be as long as a month. If that happens, he will miss the Champions League quarter-final match against Atl\u00e9tico.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On Friday, manager Carlo Ancelotti ruled Rafinha and Wesley out of the squad.
