Paris
Saint-Germain defender Dani Alves has been ruled out of this summer's World Cup
finals in Russia through injury.
The Brazil
international picked up a knee injury during this week's 2-0 win over Les
Herbiers in the French Cup final.
Initial
reports suggested that Alves would be fit to join the Brazil squad in Russia
but, according to Goal.com, national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar has now ruled
him out of the tournament.
Alves has
been a key figure for Brazil of late and was expected to start in their defence
in Russia.
The Samba
Boys will also be without Filipe Luis for the finals, who broke his leg playing
for Atletico Madrid in March.
