Breaking News: Two Brazil players out of the World Cup with injury

Brazil have been struck with a big blow as both Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles are ruled out of the World Cup with injuries.

Striker Gabriel Jesus started in Brazil's 1-0 loss against Cameroon and was substituted with a knee problem during the match. Defender Alex Telles, who has been more regular so far, also seems to be suffering from some problems.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano claimed that the duo will not take any part in Brazil's campaign following the injuries.

"Gabriel Jesus will miss the rest of the World Cup, sources close to the player and Brazil confirm. He has pain in his knee and won't be able to be back during the competition," Romano wrote on Twitter.
