South Korea, June 2: Brazil captain Emerson has been ruled out of the World Cup with a dislocated shoulder which he sustained in a bizarre training accident, team doctor Jose Luis Runco told reporters on Sunday.
Emerson was playing in goal in a light-hearted practice match when he fell awkwardly on his shoulder. The AS Roma midfielder was surrounded by his team mates and lay on the pitch for about 10 minutes before being taken to hospital.
