Neymar’s injury remains complicated and he may miss the round of 16

Neymar continues to worry Brazil.

After the ankle injury that struck him in his debut in Qatar 2022, the Verdeamarela expected to have the striker available for the round of 16, but a few days before that event, the chances of him arriving in good condition are slim.

Tite’s squad will face Cameroon to close Group G and, during its last training session, celebrated the return of Danilo, also injured against Serbia, and Alex Sandro, who presented physical complications after the match against Switzerland.

Ney, on the other hand, did not join the squad and stayed at the hotel.

According to Globo Sports, “10 hours before Brazil takes the field in Lusail (this Friday), Neymar did not return to the field.

Three days before the round of 16 and without trying the ball, the expectation of seeing him on the field is diminishing”.
