Although they finished as group leaders, a piece of news has caused concern within the team and the Brazilian press. It has been revealed that two players who started the game against Cameroon will miss the rest of the World Cup.
The first player on this unfortunate list is Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal's player who started for Brazil in the match against Cameroon. The striker was substituted around the 64th minute and ended the game with ice on his knee.
According to ESPN Brazil, together with journalist Fabrizio Romano, this knee pain complicates his return to the remaining matches in the World Cup. If the "Canarinha" reaches the final, he will also be unable to participate due to the injury. Arsenal is already aware of this and they expect the player to recover by January.
On the other hand, the player Alex Telles scared everyone after being substituted due to an injury. The Sevilla defender left the field in tears and worried Tite's coaching staff.
According to "Globosporte", the injury also involves the knee. However, unlike Gabriel Jesus, his situation is even more serious as it may require surgery as soon as possible.
When does Brazil play?
Brazil's next match will be against South Korea on Monday, December 5th at 14:00 (Peru time). This match corresponds to the round of 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
