Brazil's Jesus and Telles out of world cup with injury

Brazil have suffered two major blow ahead of the World Cup round of 16 clash against South Korea as both Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles ruled out of the rest of the tournament due to injury, reports ESPN.

According to ESPN Brasil sources, Jesus and Telles both picked up knocks in Brazil's 1-0 defeat to Cameroon on Friday. They had scans on their respective knee injuries on Saturday but sources have confirmed to ESPN that the severity of the injuries won’t let them play in the rest of the World Cup.

The news will come as a huge blow for both, but also for their club sides. Jesus' Arsenal are top of the Premier League and will want their star striker fit for when the competition resumes after the World Cup. Telles is on loan at Sevilla from Manchester United.

With Brazil continuing to monitor the fitness of Neymar, they are confident Danilo will be fit to face South Korea on Tuesday with ESPN sources saying Alex Sandro will also recover in time.
