Chronicle Neymar full of tears the show of Brazil
Neymar
will not play either of Brazil's remaining two games in the group stage.
This has been verified by several Brazilian media very close to the concentration of those from Tite, who this Friday had the bittersweet taste of the resounding victory against Serbia (2-0) and the injury to Neymar, whose ankle sprain does not take him away from the World Cup but it will take about a week or 10 days to recover.
In a very extreme case, and if his team were to risk qualifying in the last game against Cameroon, he could shorten the deadlines, but that scenario does not seem feasible.
All the alarms went off in the 79th minute, when after limping off the field, the 30-year-old PSG footballer put ice on his ankle, covered his face and began to cry.
The shadow of Brazil 2014 came back over him and although
Tite
tried to stop the alarms - "I'm sure he will play again in this World Cup," he said - the injury is what it is.
"Neymar suffered a sprain in his right ankle. The expectation is observation. Everything we talk about evolution, its sequel, is premature. We have no answer, it is important to wait," the doctor from the Brazilian Confederation told the media.
The injury was seen coming from the beginning of the game.
In fact, Neymar received nine fouls from the Serbs, by far the most from the first day of the group stage.
Next on that list was
Bruno Fernandes
, who received four fouls against Ghana, the same as
Lewandowski
against Mexico or
Gavi
against Costa Rica, for example.
But the intensity, if not violence, of the tackles on Thursday night (especially one by
Gudelj
and another by
Milenkovic
), have finished damaging the part of the body, the ankle, which has always been Neymar's Achilles heel.
