CBF evaluates whether Jesus and Alex Telles remain in the group or return to their clubs

The CBF analyzes whether Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles, injured, will be cut from the World Cup and will immediately return to their clubs or if they will continue with the group during the campaign in Qatar.

According to a note released by the entity, the coordinator of the Brazilian team, Juninho Paulista, is in contact with the directors of Arsenal and Sevilla to define how the athletes’ treatment protocol will be.

According to the CBF, an MRI confirmed “the injuries and the impossibility of recovering in time to participate in the Cup”. Tite will not be able to call substitutes. This could only happen up to 24 hours before the premiere.

With the situation of the two, Brazil ends the first phase of the World Cup with five injury problems. In addition to them, Neymar, Alex Sandro and Danilo were also injured.

The trio, however, still has a chance to play in the competition. They will be reevaluated in training this Saturday, which will indicate whether or not they will be able to play the round of 16 against South Korea, on Monday (5).

Already the recovery of Gabriel Jesus should last a month. Although the period is not long, it is enough to keep him out of the tournament in Qatar.

The situation of Alex Telles, in turn, is more delicate. He left the pitch in tears, was comforted by his teammates and may need surgery. The athlete was replaced in the second half of the game against the Cameroonians after colliding with an opponent.
