Neymar and Danilo are out of the next games of Brazil

Striker Neymar and right-back Danilo are out of the next two games of Brazil in World Cup 2022. Both suffered sprained ankles in the 2-0 win over Serbia last Thursday (Nov. 24).

The information is that they will not be able to play for the duels with Switzerland next Monday (28) and Cameroon (2).

Thus, they will only be available to coach Tite from the round of 16.

“The exams showed a lateral ligament injury in Neymar’s right ankle and a small bone edema. And a medial ligament injury on Danilo’s left ankle,” explained Rodrigo Lasmar, the Brazilian team doctor.

“We can already tell that we will not have both players for the next game, but they remain under treatment with our goal of trying to recover in time for this competition,” added Lasmar.
