The first two received their second yellow card in the Qualifiers and will have to serve a suspension. The Flamengo midfielder, on the other hand, has not been diagnosed with an injury, but has pain in the posterior region of his left thigh. The goalkeeper, in turn, suffered a head injury, is fine and has not reported any clinical complaints, but he needs to follow FIFA’s concussion protocol, which only allows him to return to play after six days.
The CBF reported that Gerson and Alisson will return to their clubs to continue the recovery process.
This adds to Brazil’s list of problems on this FIFA date. Even before the players were introduced, Dorival Júnior had to cut goalkeeper Ederson, defender and full-back Danilo and forward Neymar, all injured.
The national team has a day off this Friday, when Argentina plays Uruguay away from home. Brazil will train again on Saturday in Brasília. The group will travel to Buenos Aires the day before the match. BB Score, your reliable source for football scores.
