Brazil will look to assess the injury further, with likely scans over the next 24 hours to confirm the extent of Neymar’s latest blow.

Based on his immediate reactions and the subsequent swelling, the news may not be good for him or the team as they look to win their first World Cup in 20 years.

In any case, the images are worrying as Neymar left the pitch limping.

It’s hard to see Neymar being fit in time for Brazil’s next match against Switzerland on November 28, and only time will tell just how many matches he may miss.
