Neymar will sit out Brazil's next World Cup game after he suffered an ankle injury in his team's opening win against Serbia, the team doctor said on Friday.
Rodrigo Lasmar, the doctor for the Brazilian football federation , said the 30-year-old had suffered"ligament damage" and would miss the match against Switzerland on Monday."We will not have these two players for our next match but they continue their treatment with the aim of recovering in time for the rest of the competition," the doctor said in a video released by the CBF.
In 2014 he suffered a fractured bone in his back in the quarter-final win over Colombia, meaning he was sidelined when the hosts were thrashed 7-1 by Germany in the semi-finals. In 2021 Neymar was out for about 10 weeks of the French season after suffering ligament damage to his left ankle.
