Moscow, July 6 : Brazil right-back Danilo was on Friday ruled out for the remainder of the ongoing FIFA World Cup due to ligament damage in his left ankle.

Danilo picked up the injury during training on Thursday, according to ESPNFC report.

Danilo started Brazil's tournament opener against Switzerland. After that, the Manchester City man missed three matches due to a thigh problem. He recently returned to full training with the squad but injured the ankle during training.

The Brazilian Football Confederation said Danilo would not recover in time to play another game in the tournament.

Rome, Feb 22 (AP): Pope Francis was in critical condition Saturday after he suffered a long asthmatic respiratory crisis that required high flows of oxygen, the Vatican said.

Francis, who has been hospitalised for a week with a complex lung infection, also received blood transfusions after tests showed a condition associated with anemia, the Vatican said in a late update.

“The Holy Father continues to be alert and spent the day in an armchair although in more pain than yesterday. At the moment the prognosis is reserved,” the statement said.
