MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Brazil striker Matheus Cunha hobbled off with a hamstring injury while playing for Manchester United against Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
Cunha pulled up as he chased a ball midway through the first half at Old Trafford and immediately clutched his hamstring.
It makes Cunha a doubt for Brazil’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia, with the Selecao already missing Vinícius Junior and Rodrygo — who were rested by coach Carlo Ancelotti — and the injured Neymar.
Brazil has already qualified for the World Cup.
Cunha was playing his third league game for United since joining from Wolverhampton in the offseason.
