Brazil face potential midfield headache as Arthur taken off injured against Honduras

Brazil face a potential wait on the fitness of Arthur after the midfielder was taken off injured against Honduras following a horror tackle.

The Barcelona man was substituted off with a sore right knee following a two-footed challenge by Romell Quioto in the 29th minute at Estadio Beira-Rio, for which the latter was shown a straight red card.

Head coach Tite took no chances on the injury and Arthur has already begun treatment on the injury, with no exams anticipated for the time being.
