TERESOPOLIS, Brazil -- Brazil striker Hulk left a training session due to a muscle injury in his left leg Sunday but said he expects to be fit to play Mexico on Tuesday in his teams second World Cup match. Hulk practiced for less than 15 minutes before leaving the field. He said the injury wasnt serious and "hopefully" it wouldnt keep him from playing in the next match. "I felt a small discomfort and decided to leave as a precaution," Hulk said. "I was already thinking about the next match, its only two days away and in the World Cup you dont want to miss any match. I hope to be ready so I can help the national team again." Hulk said he had the injury before the opening win over Croatia, when he was replaced late in the match, and felt it again after a few shots on goal on Sunday. He walked off the field without a limp, but then sat down on a bench and lowered his head in apparent dismay. Hulk, who plays for Zenit in the Russian league, put his hand on his left leg when team medical staff arrived to treat him. A few moments later he went to the locker room accompanied by one of the teams doctors. "I was feeling down when it happened because you always think about the worst," Hulk said. "But then I talked to the doctors and they told me that it wasnt anything too serious. Im going to undergo treatment and hopefully Ill be able to play." The Brazilian federation said Hulk wouldnt need additional tests and would travel as planned with the rest of the squad to the northeastern city of Fortaleza later Sunday. "At a World Cup you have to overcome every challenge," Hulk said. "We prepare our entire lives to fulfil our dreams of playing in the tournament. Im feeling well." If Hulk is ruled out, 21-year-old Shakhtar Donetsk striker Bernard would be his likely replacement. Chelseas Ramires is also an option. Brazil had been injury free since it started its World Cup preparations in late May, but Sunday was a tense practice session in Teresopolis, outside Rio de Janeiro. Bernard stayed on the ground for a few moments after a foul by David Luiz, and the defender was later hurt in a challenge by midfielder Luiz Gustavo. Both players were down briefly but recovered. Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari ended the training session after the hard contact between Luiz and Gustavo. Shoes From China Wholesale .

The Raptors maintained their spot atop the Atlantic Friday after defeating the Wizards, 96-88, for their second win in a row.Nasser Hussain believes the heated exchange that followed Jos Buttlers dismissal in the second ODI will fire England up for Wednesdays series decider. Bangladesh won by 34 runs in Dhaka to level the series at 1-1 with the confrontation between the stand-in England skipper and the Bangladesh fielders giving the latter stages of the game an extra edge.Having been given out lbw on review, Buttler was making his way off the field before he turned back, apparently incensed by a comment from a Bangladesh player during their exuberant celebrations. The umpires stepped in and a visibly furious Buttler trudged off, although the incident appeared not to have been forgotten as Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow were involved in another spat with some of the home players as the teams shook hands at the end of the match.I saw it as a captain who is trying to win the game for his team, who has been quite brilliant out here and, in the heat of battle, these things happen, Hussain told Sky Sports.Its all well and good sitting up in an air-conditioned commentary box or in a studio or sat at home to be very calm about these things.

Buttler is ushered away by the umpires following the confrontation I dont think [the match referee] has to get involved but I think he will get involved because its the captain and in the laws of the game, the captain is in charge of the spirit of the game, he said.Its one thing being given a send-off as most batsmen in the world have been given at some stage, its another thing walking back into a huddle, walking back towards a player.

Javagal Srinath will be a busy man this evening.What punishments, if any, will be handed out remains to be seen but England can ill-afford to lose Buttler or Stokes, according to Hussain. However, he also argues that the altercation could prove a key motivating factor for the tourists going into the third ODI.The last thing England need is either Stokes or Buttler in any kind of trouble, Hussain added.
