EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) --- Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti is going with
Gabriel Martinelli to replace injured midfielder Lucas Paquet for the team's
round of 16 match against Norway on Sunday.
Martinelli scored the go-ahead goal late in stoppage time against Japan in the
round of 32 on Monday after entering as a substitute in the 66th minute.
Paquet limped off at halftime of that game with a hamstring injury.
Norway got defender Julian Ryerson back after he missed the past two games from
an injury he sustained against Senegal at the Meadowlands in group play on June
22. Marcus Pederson, who replaced Ryerson and scored that day, was not
available for Norway against Brazil because he was not feeling well, coach
Stle Solbakken said.
