Brazil legend Kaka fears injury could prevent Neymar from leaving the legacy a player of his talent should hand down.
Kaka, whose stellar career peaked in 2002 when he helped his country win the World Cup hosted by Japan and South Korea, is worried that the ankle injury that forced Neymar off in the 2-0 win over Serbia last night could end his tournament.
It would be a bitter blow for Brazil to take - but Kaka feels they could still lift the trophy for a sixth time on December 18 without their talismanic No 10. Kaka said: “I hope Neymar can recover for the next game because it is very important for him and his reputation to win a World Cup.
