World Cup: Brazil doctor gives update on Neymar’s injury, PSG star in tears


 An update has emerged on the injury sustained by Neymar during Brazil’s 2-0 win over Serbia in the World Cup on Thursday.

The South Americans will have to anxiously know what is next for the Paris Saint-Germain forward after he was forced off during their 2-0 victory.

Tottenham’s Richarlison scored twice to hand Brazil a perfect start in Group G but the bad news is that they could now be without their talisman.

The 30-year-old could be seen in tears as he was being treated by physios and was consoled by his Brazil teammates.

As he visibly limped off the pitch to Brazil’s dressing room, pitchside photographers captured the immediate swelling to his right ankle.

“He’s just sprained his right ankle and it’s already swollen a little,” Brazil’s team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said after the game.

‘It is important to see how he will respond. We have already started the treatment and we need to be calm and patient.

“It’s too early to say.

“You have to be calm to define how the evolution will be.”
