Neymar has been ruled out of the remainder of the World Cup group stages.
The Selecao opened up their Group G campaign in style on Thursday evening with a 2-0 victory over Serbia. It looked as though they would be left frustrated but two goals from Tottenham forward Richarlison – including an eye-catching bicycle kick – ensured Tite’s side got off to a winning start.
Despite the result, there were worrying scenes as Neymar was withdrawn in the 80th minute of the clash following a heavy collision with Nikola Milenkovic. 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.
