Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles will not be able to continue their career with Brazil in the World Cup in Qatar, due to an injury they suffered in the loss against Cameroon (0-1), according to what their country announced on Saturday.

“Alex Telles and Gabriel Jesus underwent examinations on Saturday morning,” the Brazilian national team said in a statement, two days before facing South Korea in the final price of the World Cup in Qatar.

He continued, "Both of them underwent an MRI scan on their right knee, which confirmed their injury and the impossibility of their recovery to participate in the World Cup in Qatar."

The two players were substituted during Friday's marginal match, which the Brazilians lost 0-1 to Cameroon at Lusail Stadium, in the 54th and 64th minutes due to injury.

Telles seemed so moved that he broke down in tears, probably realizing that his World Cup career was over.

The injury of the Spanish Sevilla fullback, in particular, constitutes a severe blow to coach Tite's team, which is already suffering defensively, in light of the injury of Italian Juventus players Danilo (in the ankle) and Alex Sandro (in the thigh), while he has many offensive options to replace the English star Arsenal.

The national team expressed its confidence in Danilo's ability to return to the match on Monday, after he returned to his exercises with the ball, and he is able, if there is a need, to occupy the left-back position, as he had previously played in this position with Juventus.

The right-back position, and if veteran Dani Alves is unable to secure defensive guarantees for 90 minutes or more (in the event of an extension) due to his advanced age (39 years), Titi can rely on Real Madrid player Eder Militao, who previously played against Switzerland. (1-0), even if he used to play as a center back with the Royal Club.
