Brazil's Jesus, Telles out of World Cup with injuries: report

Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus and full-back Alex Telles have been ruled out of the World Cup after the duo picked up knocks during the Selecao's 1-0 defeat to Cameroon in their last World Cup Group G game on Friday, according to ESPN Brasil sources. 

The news comes as a huge blow to the five-time World Cup winners ahead of their last 16 clash against South Korea on Monday. 

Both Jesus and Telles had scans on their respective knee injuries on Saturday but it was stated in the report by ESPN that the severity of the injuries will see both unable to play in the rest of the World Cup.

Brazil already have multiple injury concerns, with Neymar still recovering from an ankle injury suffered against Serbia in their World Cup opener. Starting full-backs Danilo and Alex Sandro are out after injuries suffered earlier in the competition and their availability is still unclear.
