Wesley Cut From Brazil's World Cup Squad as Deadly Crashes and Bridge Collapse Prompt Probes

A late thigh injury forces Brazil to summon Éderson, prompting DNIT forensic inspections and criminal inquiries into recent road deaths.

Overview

  • The CBF confirmed on Sunday that Wesley suffered a left adductor injury and was removed from the World Cup roster, with Éderson called up to join the delegation.
  • The Frei Paolino Baldassari bridge in Sena Madureira partially collapsed, causing deaths and injuries and leading the Ministério Público do Acre to open procedures and request a DNIT forensic inspection to examine design, materials or execution.
  • Police in Belém closed an inquest into the May incident in which fans were run over and have indicted driver Pablo Henrique Farias da Silva for qualified intentional homicide, forwarding the file to the judiciary.
  • In Cascavel a truck driver who fatally struck a 12-year-old tested positive on a breathalyzer and was granted provisional release under electronic monitoring and restrictions on visiting places that sell alcohol.
  • Multiple recent high-speed road crashes across states have left several dead and many injured, and a court in Ceará ordered the release of five men accused in a 2025 double homicide citing insufficient evidence, highlighting varied judicial outcomes in these public-safety cases.
