Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus and defender Alex Telles will miss the rest of the World Cup matches in Qatar after picking up knee injuries in their final Group G game against Cameroon on Friday.
This was made known by the country’s football association, Confederation of Brazil Football (CBF) on Saturday ahead of the knock-out matches to start in few hours.
Brazil, who face South Korea in the last 16 on Monday, have problems in defence as Telles’ fellow full-backs, Danilo and Alex Sandro, have also had injury problems.
Arsenal forward Jesus featured in all three of Brazil’s Group G games but the five-time world champions have a wealth of attacking talent.
