The Brazilian has a match against Cameroon on Friday. They are already certain of promotion, they are within reach of the first promotion position. An investigation of the players by coach Tite can be expected.
It was already clear that Neymar would not play. He injured the ligaments in his right ankle in Thursday’s opening match against Serbia (2:0). Because of this, he did not start Monday’s duel with Switzerland (1:0). He didn’t even go to watch the match and stayed at the team hotel, where he underwent physiotherapy. The team said Neymar also had a fever on Monday, but it was “under control” and did not affect the treatment of the ankle.
