Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles are two more injured in the Brazilian national team in this World Cup. In addition to them, who are out of the tournament, Neymar, Danilo and Alex Sandro are also low and still have no forecast of returning to the competition.
It is the right-back who has the best chance of returning in these round of 16, on Monday (5), against South Korea. Neymar will start doing work on the field, but still not sure for the match.
Jesus and Telles were substituted in this Friday’s match (2) against Cameroon with pain in the right knee. In the case of the left-back, it became more noticeable that the injury is serious. Visibly shaken, Telles appeared crying on the field exit and also on the bench.
The left side of Brazil’s defense is what worries the most. Marquinhos was improvised in the role in the last match. Peter entered in Jesus’ place. The team was defeated 1-0.
The Brazilian team is not the only one suffering from injuries in this World Cup. Senegal lost Sadio Mané before the start of the competition. In France, Benzema was cut after an injury in training, while Lucas Hernández was injured in the first round – Kanté, Pogba and Maignan were out of the squad, and Kimpembe and Nkuku also on the eve of the tournament.
Australia, who play this Saturday (3) against Argentina, at 16h, lost center forward Martin Boyle, while the South Americans had strikers Nicolás González and JoaquÃn Correa cut. Giovanni Lo Celso suffered a muscle injury before the tournament and was ruled out.
