Brazil ‘keeping eye’ on injured PSG duo
Rio de Janeiro: Brazil’s medical staff is monitoring David Luiz and Marquinhos as the Paris Saint-Germain pair battle to be fit for friendlies against France and Chile.
Luiz is currently sidelined with a thigh injury while Marquinhos has a hamstring strain, reported Xinhua.
Striker Diego Tardelli also has a knee injury that has forced him to miss Shandong Luneng’s past three matches.
“We are keeping an eye on what is happening,” Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar told Globoesporte on Tuesday.
“We hope to be updated by Wednesday, to know how the players are recovering. We’re also waiting for the results of some exams.”
Brazil will play France in Paris on March 26 before confronting Chile in London three days later.
The fixtures will be the last chance for coach Dunga to assess his options before choosing his squad for the Copa America, to be played in Chile from June 11 to July 4.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
