Neymar ruled out of Brazil's next World Cup game

Brazil boss Tite is hopeful that Neymar will still be able to play a role in the rest of Brazil's World Cup journey despite picking up an injury during their opening World Cup game.

Neymar suffered the knock during Brazil's 2-0 win over Serbia on Thursday night. The PSG attacker suffered the injury in the second half and limped off the field eleven minutes after receiving treatment on the pitch and it has now been confirmed that he will miss Brazil's second group game with Switzerland.

After the game, Neymar was seen hobbling out of the stadium as his teammates attempted to shield him from the prying eyes of the media in attendance.
