Goulart Out of Squad for CSL International Matches

Brazilian football legend and former captain Gérson "Goulart" has been ruled out of the national team's upcoming international matches due to injury.

The news comes as a major blow to the Seleção, who will be competing in the Confederation of South American Football (CONMEBOL) World Cup qualifiers against Argentina and Paraguay later this month.

Goulart was named in Brazil's squad for the two fixtures, but it is understood that he has suffered a setback with his knee and will not be able to play.

It is believed that the midfielder's absence could leave a significant hole in the side, especially given the importance of the games against Argentina and Paraguay.

However, there have been no further details on when Goulart might return to training or if he will be available for selection in the future.

In a statement released by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), they said: "We are deeply saddened by the news of Gérson Goulart's injury and we wish him a speedy recovery."

"We understand the disappointment this will cause for all fans and supporters of the Seleção, and we will do everything possible to ensure that our players can compete at their best."

For now, Brazil will have to find ways to cope without Goulart, and the rest of the squad will need to step up their game if they want to secure a place in the World Cup finals in Qatar next year.
