Neymar has described Brazil international teammate Casemiro as the “best midfielder in the world” after his starring role in his nation’s World Cup win over Switzerland.
Neymar was withdrawn in the 80th minute of Brazil’s 2-0 victory over Serbia in their first World Cup game on Thursday. The Paris Saint-Germain man was then pictured in tears on the bench, whilst images of his swollen ankle began to circulate on social media after the game.
The Brazilian superstar was subsequently ruled out of his nation’s next group games against Switzerland – which Brazil won 1-0 on Monday evening – and is almost certain to miss the following group clash against Cameroon.
