Brazil have been dealt a double injury blow with striker Gabriel Jesus and left-back Alex Telles ruled out the rest of the World Cup.
The five-time world champions take on South Korea in their last-16 fixture on Monday but will now be missing two more key men.
Arsenal forward Jesus looks likely to need a month on the sidelined to get over an injury to his right knee.
Manchester United defender Telles, who is on loan at Sevilla, may need surgery on his knee issue and is expected to be out for longer, according to Brazilian news outlet Globo.
It means that Jesus will miss the rest of Brazil’s World Cup campaign and also some of Arsenal's festive fixture schedule as he recovers.
Telles has suffered a more serious knee problem and he left the field in tears during Brazil’s 1-0 defeat to Cameroon in their final group match on Friday night.

I really don’t care about Brazil. The real issue is Arsenal losing their striker while topping the table. They made a big mistake by not bringing in another quality striker. I’m afraid they’re going to pay for that.

Can they include other players to the squad after that injuries?
yes they can but they can't include a player who were initially not included in the World cup squad.
