Neymar will miss at least the next two games of Brazil’s squad after going off injured in Thursday’s encounter against Serbia. Right back Danilo also misses the rest of the group stage.
The information is provided by Globe Sports, which quotes the doctor of the Brazilian team, Rodrigo Lasmar. According to the official, Neymar suffered a sprain in his right ankle and Danilo in his left ankle. “The players started treatment immediately after the game. Today [sexta-feira] In the morning they were reassessed,” said Lasmar, who also explained that the players will be evaluated daily and have already started physiotherapy.
According to Rodrigo Lasmar “The scans showed a lateral ligament injury to Neymar’s right ankle, along with a minor bone swelling. And a medial ligament injury to Danilo’s left ankle.”
As he left the field of play, Neymar was seen crying on the bench with his ankle visibly swollen before leaving the stadium with a limp, raising concerns about his physical condition.
Danilo’s case was different. The defender finished the game with visible physical limitations, but was not substituted. Finally, he addressed the press and said the situation was not serious. Don’t forget that the team suffered the same injury during the group stage in 2018.
