Brazil, France, and Portugal, the three teams in Qatar 2022 that had two victories to their names, all dropped their third games to Cameroon, Tunisia, and South Korea, respectively.

Brazil last won the FIFA World Cup 20 years ago when they defeated Germany 2-0 in the final with Ronaldo Nazario scoring both goals for the South American giants.

Meanwhile, Neymar is training with a ball for the first time as he races against time to be fit for Brazil's World Cup match against South Korea, Goal reports.

Neymar was injured by a particularly strong challenge and hasn't played since in Brazil's World Cup opener against Serbia.

With Brazil’s last group stage game on Friday, the Paris Saint-Germain attacker's participation in their round of 16 match against South Korea is still in doubt due to his injury.

Trouble for Brazil as Jesus is out of Qatar

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Brazil has landed into serious trouble at the 2022 World Cup as Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus will now miss the rest of the tournament after sustaining an injury.

The former Man City star started for Brazil in their 1-0 defeat to Cameroon on Friday, but was substituted shortly after the hour mark.

Brazil's team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar revealed after the match that there were injury worries over both Jesus and Alex Telles.
