By winning over Switzerland, Brazil secured a place in the round of 16 of the World Cup. However, just like the triumph over Serbia, three points against Murat Yakin’s men required a “sacrifice”, and this time it was Alex Sandro. Juventus defender was forced to leave the game with Switzerland in the 86th minute due to an injury, and because of it, he will not be available to coach Tite for the duel with Cameroon in the third round. It is not yet known whether it will be for the knockout phase as well, but the medical team of Brazil is working to get Sandro back on the field as soon as possible.🚨Update: Alex Sandro will not play against Cameroon due to a hip injury. Danilo and Neymar are still undergoing treatment and will not play as well.— Brasil Football 🇧🇷 (@BrasilEdition) November 29, 2022 But since Brazil is through to the second round anyway, coach Tite decided to ‘shake’ the squad and give his reserve players some playing time. According to Brazilian ‘Globo’, systemically, nothing will change. It will still be a “4-2-4″ formation, in which the position between the posts will be occupied by Ederson instead of Alisson. Dani Alves, Eder Militao, Bremer and Alex Telles will stand in front of Manchester City’s goalkeeper. The defense may not be top class, but it’s still out of reach for most of the competition. Against Cameroon, Dani Alves will go down in history as officially the oldest player to represent the Selecao at the World Cup.Tunisia hoping against hope as they meet FranceIn front of the defensive four will be Fabinho, who is still waiting for minutes, and Bruno Guimaraes, who shone in the Newcastle jersey during the current season in the Premier League. Globo’s biggest dilemma is about the offensive four, because there are six players in the competition. However, the biggest chances are given to Rodrigo, Antonio, Gabriel Jesus and his Arsenal team-mate Martinelli. This means that Pedro and Everton Ribeiro will wait for a chance from the bench and will probably get it in the second half. If he really decides on this line-up, it is certain that Rodrigo will get Neymar’s role.I firmly believe in the victory against Brazil, claims Song after the rollercoaster against SerbiaAs for Sandro, he has a hip injury and will miss certainly one, but maybe even more games.”He felt pain in the area of his left hip, he could not continue the match. He was examined again this morning, we did an MRI which showed a muscle injury on his hip. Sandro will not be able to play the next match against Cameroon, he is currently undergoing treatment so that we can get him as soon as possible rather recovered,” said the doctor of the Brazilian national team, Rodrigo Lasmar. After the match with Serbia, Brazil was left without Neymar and Danilo, who will also not play against Cameroon. Now, Alex Sandro will miss that game too, and according to the Brazilian media, he should be replaced by his namesake Telles in the match of the third round.Wednesday, Nov 30th18:00: (10.0) Tunisia (5.00) France (1.33) 18:00: (7.00) Australia (3.60) Denmark (1.58) 22:00: (5.20) Poland (3.70) Argentina (1.70)22:00: (5.70) Saudi Arabia (3.80) Mexico (1.63)
