Gabriel Jesus speaks after being cut from the Brazilian national team

Striker Gabriel Jesus manifested himself for the first time this Saturday night, after being cut from the Brazilian national team due to an injury to his right knee. Outside the World Cup, he published the following text on his Instagram page:

– If there was a time travel and I could see you and tell you something, I would say “Gabriel, you are a winner”[under his photo as a baby]. Thank you to everyone who sent messages of support and affection!

The player underwent examinations this Saturday, after being injured in the defeat to Cameroon, Friday. The medical department confirmed after the tests that the athlete would no longer be able to play in this World Cup.

DISCOMFORT BEFORE THE WORLD CUP

Gabriel Jesus already complained of a discomfort in his right knee before the start of the world cup. The player leaves Qatar this Sunday and travels to England in the afternoon to start treatment at the club. There is a possibility that the player will undergo surgery, but the case will still be analyzed by the doctors of the English team.

The striker took to the field in three games at the World Cup in Qatar – two as a substitute (Serbia and Switzerland) and one as a starter (Cameroon).

Without being able to count on the striker, the Brazilian team faces South Korea, this Monday, at 4 pm (Brasília time), for the round of 16 of the World Cup.
