Blow for Brazil as Marcelo limps off

Brazil suffered a blow during their Group E clash against Serbia as Marcelo was forced off with an injury. The Real Madrid left-back grimaced as he hobbled to the sidelines in the 10th minute of the Group E encounter, Filipe Luis coming on as his replacement. Marcelo initially headed towards his team-mates in the dugout but was helped down the tunnel by the medical staff in Moscow.

Filipe Luis only returned from six weeks out with a broken leg in May, and with Danilo struggling with a hip issue, Tite could find his options at full-back further restricted if Brazil makes it to the last 16.
