Fitness fears for Brazil
Posted Wednesday, June 30, 2010 by PA
Brazil coach Dunga is sweating on the fitness of a trio of players ahead of Friday's quarter-final clash with Holland.
Galatasaray midfielder Elano, who missed Monday's 3-0 victory over Chile with an ankle problem, was unable to complete training on Tuesday as the South Americans began their preparations in earnest for the game at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.
Elano's fitness concerns represent a real worry for Dunga, who also has Felipe Melo struggling with a similar problem, while Julio Baptista is battling to shake off a knock he picked up during the 0-0 first-round draw with Portugal.
