Three Brazilian players under treatment

DORTMUND, June 28: Brazilian defender Lucio and midfielder Emerson and Kaka were all undergoing treatment following yesteray's 3-0 second win over Ghana, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said.

The CBF's website said today that Emerson and Kaka both complained of pain in the right knee and that Lucio had suffered a knock on his right thigh.

It did not give any further details on the three or whether there was any risk of their missing Saturday's quarter-final against France.

Emerson was replaced by Gilberto Silva at halftime in yesterday's game while Kaka went off in the 83rd minute. Lucio played on until the end.

It added that forward Robinho, who was ruled out of the Ghana game because of a problem with his right thigh, was undergoing intensive treatment.

Brazil were hoping that Robinho would be fit for Saturday.
