The main striker of the Brazilian national team, Neymar, was injured in yesterday's match of the 1st round of the 2022 World Cup group stage with Serbia (2: 0) and risks missing the rest of the World Cup.
Effects of Neymar's injuryAt the 67th minute of the meeting, the 30-year-old football player received a strong blow as a result of a tackle by Nikola Milenkovic and was subsequently replaced.
Rodrigo Lasmar, the Brazil national team doctor, spoke about the severity of Neymar's injury.
“It is too early to draw final conclusions. For now, we can only say that Neymar has a sprained ankle. She swelled up. Now we need to calm down and wait at least a day to understand how Neymar's body will react, how his ankle will behave.
It is all the more early to make estimates about when Neymar will return to duty and whether he will be able to continue playing at the World Cup. The next few hours will help to find answers to all questions,” said Lasmar.
