Sevilla full-back Telles had to replace Arsenal forward Jesus a few minutes later against Cameroon in the 55th minute. “Together with our doctor, they underwent tests this morning and an MRI scan of their right knee confirmed the extent of the injury. It is impossible for them to recover in time and participate in the tournament,” said representatives of the Brazilian federation.
One of the Qatar tournament favorites is still missing, playmaker Neymar, who injured his ankle in his opener against Serbia. He hasn’t played since. The start of full-backs Danilo and Alex Sandro is also still uncertain.
