14:46:15The blog you are reading is a news blog - if you want live match updates on Ecuador v Senegal and Netherlands v Qatar , visit the Sky Sports blogs here..Brazil's Neymar will miss his team's last group game at the World Cup because of his right ankle injury, the team doctor confirmed today.

Mr Lasmar did not give a timetable on Neymar's return, and did not say if the player would return at all. The former Sunderland player said:"I was able to have a three or four-minute chat with him so that was fantastic, around football and especially tonight with the England vs Wales game, it sort of put him on the spot.

Security will be stepped up for the contest between two nations that severed ties over 40 years ago, to prevent a flare-up of tensions over the unrest that has gripped Iran since the death in custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September. US secretary of state Antony Blinken, speaking in Romania, played down any link between the match and political tensions and said he hoped the game would"speak for itself", adding that he would be watching and cheering on his country.

Hila Yadegar, 37, planned to be at the match to show support for protesters even though she and her husband were both briefly held by stadium guards at the Iran-Wales match and despite voicing similar unease over security in Qatar.Fans gather inside Qatar stadiums During the Group H match last night, activist Mario Ferri ran onto the pitch at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar wearing a Superman T-shirt bearing the words"Save Ukraine" on the front and"Respect for Iranian woman" on the back.

Mr Ferri went on to share messages regarding the plight of Iranian women, the controversial attitude at Qatar 2022 towards LGBTQ+ support, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine"Breaking the rules if you do it for a good cause is never a crime." Onana's exit follows a dispute with Cameroon coach Rigobert Song over team tactics - reportedly he was asked to play more long balls. He was dropped for Monday's 3-3 draw with Serbia after having played in Cameroon's opening game at the World Cup, a 1-0 loss to Switzerland."I have put all my efforts and energy into finding solutions to a situation that a footballer often experiences, but there has been no will on the other side.
