Neymar had to face nine fouls in the match against Serbia. In this, Nikola Milankovic’s tough tackle caused the player’s leg to work. In the 79th minute of the game, after a foul, Neymar fell to the ground and was pulled from the field. Instead, Anthony entered the field in the 80th minute. Fans were sure things were a bit serious when pictures of Neymar’s injured ankle with swelling came out.
Neymar was withdrawn due to injury in the match against Serbia and was on the side bench until the end of the game. After watching the last 10 minutes with an ice pack, the player limped to the locker room. In the subsequent tests, it became clear that Neymar will miss the group stage matches.
In the first match against Serbia, Brazil won by 2 unanswered goals. The Latin American giants put in a good performance in this match. Brazil’s remaining group stage matches at the World Cup are against Switzerland on Monday and Cameroon on December 3. Reports are that Brazil will not get the services of Neymar in these matches.
At the same time, Neymar is prone to injuries. Neymar suffered a serious injury during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. It was during the quarter match against Colombia. Despite winning that day, Brazil lost in the semi-finals without Neymar. It is the same old thing that worries Brazil when Neymar is injured again.
Neymar and injuries
Neymar, a friend of injuries, was in the grip of injuries before the 2018 World Cup. But just before the Russian World Cup, Neymar recovered from the injury and came to the tournament. But in this World Cup, Brazil did not live up to expectations. Neymar, who has played 122 matches for Brazil, also missed the 2019 Copa America tournament due to a right leg injury. In 2021, Neymar was sidelined for 10 weeks due to a ligament injury. This time when he was at his best fitness for the World Cup in Qatar, injury has come in the form of another villain.
