Neymar set to miss Brazil's remaining World Cup group stage fixtures amid ankle injury

Brazil superstar Neymar looks set to miss the remaining two group stage fixtures against Switzerland and Cameroon after suffering an ankle injury.

A report from geglobo suggests the Paris Saint-Germain forward will not be available for Brazil until after the Group Stage having suffered a sprained ankle. Tottenham striker Richarlison scored twice for Brazil as they eased to a 2-0 win to begin their World Cup campaign.

Neymar was substituted for Manchester United winger Antony in the 79th minute after taking a knock to his ankle, which he has had injury problems with in the past. Tite will now have to call upon the likes of Arsenal duo Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli, Rodrygo and Antony to replace the Brazil icon in the starting lineup.
