The news of Neymar Jr.'s return to the Brazil national team has raised the expectations of what's to come in next week's international break.
The return of Brazil's all-time leading scorer could reinvigorate a struggling side, raising the confidence and morale of the squad.
Neymar's homecoming would be incomplete without him wearing the number 10 shirt he inherited from Ronaldinho over a decade ago. For this to happen, another Brazilian star will have to change his number for the games vs. Colombia and Argentina.
Following a brilliant start to the 2024-25 season, Raphinha donned Brazil's mythical number 10 shirt the last time La Seleçao took the field in a World Cup qualifier match back in November. The Barcelona winger scored and payed homage to the then injured Neymar, performing his iconic celebration whilst wearing his shirt number.
Now that Neymar is back, Raphinha will relinquish the rights to the iconic number 10 in the Verdeamarela shirt to its rightful owner and he'll return to his more usual number.
