Silva's bizarre pre-match comment

Ahead of the match, Silva said that his team will dedicate the win to Danilo Pereira, who broke his ribs in training and is expected to miss their final group matches against Uruguay and South Korea.

“We want to dedicate this win to Danilo because he is a fantastic player and person. That is why we would like to do it for him," according to the Mirror.

The injury to the PSG star could mean veteran defender Pepe, 39, would return to the team in what is expected to be a feisty affair.

Uruguay have some elite talent in their ranks, like Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani, Darwin Nunez and Federico Valverde.
