Douglas Costa & Danilo Ruled Out of Brazil's Next Game

Douglas Costa and Danilo have been ruled out of Brazil's last World Cup group game against Serbia due to injury.


The duo will not travel with the rest of the squad for Wednesday's closing Group E clash in Moscow.

"At the end of yesterday's game, Douglas Costa complained of pain in his right hamstring," team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar told reporters. "Just remember he arrived injured, but in the left leg. That is different from this complaint."

"He was diagnosed with a minor muscle injury so he will not travel with us. He will stay in Sochi, where we have a structure suitable for him to recover as soon as possible."

"We'll have a physiotherapist here. He will continue the recovery process here, along with Danilo, who will not travel and will have physiotherapy aimed at recovery."
