The Brazilian team finished the group stage of the World Cup Qatar 2022 in the most unfortunate way, with a 0-1 defeat against Cameroon and with two of their figures injured to such an extent that they will miss the remainder of the tournament. These are defender Alex Telles and attacker Gabriel Jesús.
Both players had to be substituted in the middle of the match against the Africans, which immediately set off alarm bells in the coaching staff led by Tite, who He was already worrying about the indefinite absence of his main star, Neymar, who is still a doubt for the round of 16 match.
Alex Telles had to leave the match against Cameroon in the minute 26′ after failing to recover from a blow to his right knee. The player, who left crying, could have to undergo surgery as indicated by the Brazilian press.
For his part, Gabriel Jesús also has problems with one of his knees, although they came from some time ago and the injury ended up getting worse in the aforementioned match. Luckily for the Arsenal striker, his injury is not as serious as his teammate’s, but he will need at least a month to recover.
With these two discards, Brazil is left with only 26 active players on its list of 54, although three of them are not at 26%, as are the full-backs Danilo and Alex Sandro, in addition to the already mentioned Neymar, who is expected to start playing the ball in training this Saturday.
The ‘Canarinha’, who is one of the candidates to win the World Cup in Qatar 100, will face South Korea in the round of 16. If they advance, they will face the winner of the crossing between Croatia and Japan.
