Brazil won their first match in this World Cup. The Latin American team beat Serbia 2-0 at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar on Thursday. However, the team’s biggest star, Neymar Jr., did not score a goal that day. He also brought bad news for Brazil fans at the end of the match.
The joy of victory was accompanied by the pain of injury to the best star. In the 80th minute of the match, Brazil’s key player left the field with an ankle injury.
Pictures of Neymar’s injury are floating on social media. He is seen sitting in the dugout watching his teammates playing and feeling pain in his ankle. The pain in the eyes is obvious. Brazil came to the Hexa mission relying on him.
However, Seleção coach Tite gave the news of relief. Neymar’s injury is not serious. However, the team physio has kept the Brazilian number ten under close observation for 24 to 48 hours. After that, it will be decided when the star forward will be fit to go on the field.
However, Neymar is giving inspiration to the team despite the injury. He also indicated that there are six more victories left in the Hexa mission. But Neymar is uncertain due to injury. Two days later Brazil’s match is against Switzerland. However, there are concerns about Neymar’s participation in the rest of the group stage due to an ankle injury.
Meanwhile, a source in Brazil told Reuters that Neymar will not be available in a match of the group stage. Young forward Rodrigo can come to the team instead of Neymar.
