Dani Alves will miss the 2018 World Cup because of an anterior cruciate ligament injury. The 35-year-old sustained the injury in the French Cup final while playing for Paris Saint-Germain.

The PSG star is one of the most followed Brazilian footballers. He is a popular figure in the dressing room and his experience will definitely be missed by his teammates. Brazil fans will also miss one of their favourite stars.

He has capped 106 times for Brazil and played in the previous two World Cups. His expertise in taking set pieces and ability to create chances from the wide area will also be missed.
