SAO PAULO -- Not even the return of Lionel Messi from a three-game absence managed to save Argentina from losing 3-0 to Brazil last week.The Barcelona star said everything needs to change in its next World Cup qualifier against Colombia on Tuesday.The runner-up in 2014, Argentina enters the 12th of 18 rounds of qualifying on Tuesday in sixth place. Only the top four teams are guaranteed a spot in the finals in Russia in 2018, with the fifth-place finisher competing in a four-team intercontinental playoff for two spots.In its last four games, Argentina tied unimpressive Venezuela and Peru, and it lost to Paraguay at home before being dominated by Brazil.With 16 points, one back of Ecuador and Chile, Argentina is not completely out of the picture. Its biggest hurdle has been its performance, which players believe will be different against third-place Colombia.Still, the team is under so much pressure that coach Edgardo Bauza needed to proclaim his players support him after only two months on the job.The players have supported me since we started working, I see them with a tremendous will. Thats the best support I can have, Bauza said. There is no discussion about the strategy. The biggest problem is that we were scored against eight times. All the rest is easy to solve. We lost points that we werent expecting to lose.Many players voiced concerns about their play as soon as the match against Brazil ended. Psychology became the focus of a quick change.We have to change our mindset ... because this team has great players, Messi said. When ones head is not fine, the legs do not respond.So far, Argentina has scored only 11 goals -- fewer than half of the 26 scored by first-place Brazil. Only Bolivia, with nine goals, has scored fewer.To fight the struggles on offense, Bauza might replace Gonzalo Higuain with Lucas Pratto, who has often been a reserve for Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro. Argentine media has reported he could make other changes.Colombia will also be without defenders Yerry Mina and Oscar Murillo, leaving coach Jose Pekerman with three players who have never played for the national team.Here is a look at other teams in action this week:---BRAZILA win in Peru basically puts Brazil, which has 24 points through 11 games, through to Russia in 2018. It would be a shocking scenario for a team that, three months ago, was in sixth place in the South American qualifiers.Brazils expectations for the game have also changed following its lopsided victory over Argentina and eighth-place Perus 4-1 victory at Paraguay.Paulinho, who scored one of the goals against Argentina, said Brazil goes to Peru poised for its sixth consecutive win since Tite took over as the teams coach.We want to end this year well, so the first place in the group is fundamental for that, he said.Tite will not count on suspended left back Marcelo, who is likely going to be replaced by Filipe Luis.Peru will count on midfielder Christian Cueva, who played an important role in the victory against Paraguay and has emerged as one of the best players for Sao Paulo.---URUGUAYEdinson Cavani is likely to return to the starting lineup, replacing Cristhian Stuani, after missing second-place Uruguays game against Chile because of an injury.Coach Oscar Tabarez will also replace Diego Rolan with Alvaro Gonzalez, embracing a more conservative 4-4-2 strategy he has used in away games.A win at Chile nearly assures Uruguay, currently with 23 points, will advance to the World Cup finals.Chile will count on the return of striker Alexis Sanchez, and midfielder Arturo Vidal is likely to play despite a left leg injury.The Chileans were recently awarded two extra points following a FIFA ruling that said Bolivia had used an ineligible player in a 0-0 draw, but the Bolivians have appealed the decision.For now, the Copa America champions have 16 points in fifth place.Elsewhere, fourth-place Ecuador hosts last-place Venezuela and Bolivia will face Paraguay.

The Browns running back will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery Thursday, the latest medical setback for Hardesty, who dislocated his right thumb on Monday after missing most of training camp with a hamstring injury. Cleveland coach Rob Chudzinski said Hardesty has been bothered by "nagging" soreness in his knee, and that the surgery is not related to the hamstring injury that forced him to miss the majority of workouts this summer. Hardesty had only returned to practice on Monday when he injured his thumb while jumping to catch a direct snap from centre. Chudzinski does not know how long Hardesty, who has undergone prior surgeries to repair torn ligaments in both knees, will be sidelined. "Well have to see after he gets that (scope)," Chudzinski said. "Its just to clean it up." Typically, the recovery time on such surgeries is least one month. Chudzinski said his message to Hardesty is to stay strong. "You have to keep coming back and keep fighting," he said. "I think that is the theme we have been talking about a lot. It applies everywhere in this game. And hell make it back." Chudzinski did not know which knee Hardesty was going to have scoped. Hardesty was limited in practice Tuesday, when he had a protective wrap over his thumb. He left without speaking to reporters. The engaging 26-year-old has had injury issues throughout his NFL career, and before he turned pro. Hardesty tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in the final exhibition game in 2010 and missed his entire rookie season. Hardesty also had knee problems in college at Tennessee, and had his right ACL repaired when he was a freshman with the Volunteers. Hes battled back every time, and now Hardesty will have to do it again. "That injury bug is something you cant control," said linebacker DQwell Jackson, who had had to overcome two major chest injuries. "Hes just got to stay positive. Once he has his surgery, its just one day at a time, just look at how you can make the situation better. It starts with the attitude, attitude is everything. Its going to help the healing process and its going to help him mentally get through it. "I would tell him is to keep good people around him just so he stays motivated and stays with a positive outlook.dddddddddddd" Hardesty was drafted in the second round by Cleveland in 2010. He rushed for 271 yards as Trent Richardsons backup last season, but his roster spot was believed to be in jeopardy because of the arrival of Dion Lewis, who recently passed him on the depth chart. Chudzinski said the Browns will have to wait to see how long Hardesty will be out before any roster decisions can be finalized. "Well just have to see when he gets back and then balance that with the other guys and how they are doing and how theyve done in the next couple weeks," he said. With Chris Ogbonnaya and Brandon Jackson, the Browns have enough depth at running back to help ease the sting of losing Hardesty. "Its really nice having Dion in there because hes done a great job during the entire training camp," Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas said. "He did a great job in the first preseason game, and obviously with him and Trent and Obi, a nice little depth chart there. Theyll be able to pick up the slack nicely." NOTES: Thomas said RB Trent Richardson playing in the preseason should help the Browns line develop some chemistry with the second-year star. Richardson sat out all four exhibitions a year ago and never caught up. "You cant just plug somebody in there and just expect him to know where the reads are and the cuts and how were blocking every play," Thomas said. "So having live reps with him back there is going to be tremendously helpful." ... Starting S T.J. Ward will be kept out of Thursdays exhibition game against Detroit as a precaution as he recovers from a nagging hamstring. "Nothing wrong," Chudzinski said. "Just want to be smart about it and get him ready for the season." ... CB Chris Owens practiced with the starters on Wednesday and will play against the Lions after missing last weeks preseason opener against St. Louis with a strained foot arch. Owens is competing with Buster Skrine for the starting spot opposite Joe Haden. ... WRs Jordan Norwood (hamstring) and David Nelson (knee) and P T.J. Conley (groin) did not practice as the Browns did their final tuneup for the Lions. ... Undrafted rookie OL Chris Faulk had arthroscopic knee surgery Monday, Chudzinski said.
