But
amid
the
victory,
there
is
concern
among
supporters
worldwide
regarding
Neymar
and
his
fitness.
The
star
forward
had
an
underwhelming
game,
having
just
3
shots
and
only
one
of
them
was
on
target.
In
a
match
where
Neymar
scored
a
blank,
trouble
arose
later
when
he
hobbled
off
with
an
ankle
injury
and
had
to
be
substituted.
At
the
touchline,
the
30-year-old
was
captured
wrapping
his
head
with
the
shirt
in
dismay
and
that
feared
millions.
He
also
had
an
ice
pack
wrapped
around
his
ankle,
with
a
visible
swollen
area
around
the
ankle.
And
these
images
have
raised
questions
about
whether
his
tournament
has
come
to
a
premature
end.
And
now
it
has
been
confirmed
that
Neymar
has
been
ruled
out
of
Brazil’s
remaining
group-stage
matches.

Brazil
manager
Tite
confirmed
that
Neymar’s
injury
was
not
serious
but
it
seems
the
star
forward
will
have
to
sit
out
the
next
two
matches
at
least.
“You
can
be
sure
that
Neymar
will
play
in
the
World
Cup,
I
am
absolutely
sure
of
that.
He’s
going
to
play
in
the
World
Cup”
Tite
told
the
curious
reporters
after
his
team’s
triumph.
But
Brazil’s
team
doctor
later
said
they
will
have
to
wait
for
further
review
if
required.
He
also
confirmed
the
talismanic
forward
sprained
his
ankle
and
had
swelling,
which
was
treated
with
ice
and
physiotherapy.
“There
is
no
scheduled
imaging
exam.
If
there
is
a
need,
we
will.
But
that
will
be
decided
by
the
measure
of
his
evaluation
tomorrow.
The
expectation
is
observation.
Anything
we
talk
about
evolution,
his
sequel,
is
premature.
We
do
not
have
any
answers,
it
is
important
to
wait,”
added
Dr.
Rodrigo
Lasmar.
The
latest
update
as
per
multiple
reports
state
that
Neymar
is
unlikely
to
feature
for
the
remainder
of
the
group
stage
of
the
World
Cup,
but
could
still
play
a
part
in
the
tournament.
This
means
the
star
forward
will
miss
Brazil’s
clash
against
Switzerland
and
Cameroon.
Brazil
are
in
cruise
control
of
their
group
for
now
and
a
win
over
Switzerland
in
the
next
match
will
almost
ensure
their
passage
to
the
knockouts.
