Brazil Boss Tite Says Barcelona's Arthur Is 'Fine' Amid Knee Injury Concerns

Brazil manager Tite has reassured supporters that Arthur is fit to take part in the 2019 Copa America amid fears he had suffered a knee injury during the Selecao's 7-0 friendly win over Honduras on Sunday.

The Barcelona midfielder had to be taken off in the first half following a challenge from Romell Quioto, which earned the Honduras player a red card.

Per Goal's John Skilbeck, Tite said:

"Arthur is fine. I spoke to him. He told me it was just a knock. And I saw in his face that he is well.

"I don't want to second-guess the doctor, he'll confirm all this for you, but from his mood, I saw it was just a knock.
