Former defender of the Brazilian national team Marcos Cafu joked about whether he could play at the 2018 World Cup.

"As for whether I am ready to help the Brazilian national team in connection with the injury of right-back Daniel Alves, I very much wanted to, but there were no necessary documents, so I did not have time to submit an application," - quotes Kafu Championat.

"But in fact Alves is a very tangible loss for our national team. He is a born leader. I hope the team can do it without it, "said the 47-year-old Brazilian.

It was previously reported that Dani Alves will miss the 2018 World Cup because of a knee injury.
