Neymar Ruled Out Until After Group Stage: Neymar won’t be playing for Brazil against Switzerland on November 28 and is probably not going to play against Cameroon on December 2.
If Brazil advances to the knockout stage, Neymar, who memorably missed the 7-1 thrashing against Germany in 2014 due to damaged vertebrae, will have to fight to be healthy. The tournament favorites kicked off Qatar 2022 by defeating Serbia 2-0 in Group G.

Neymar Ruled Out Until After Group Stage
The team doctor for Brazil’s national team stated that talisman Neymar will be absent until after the group stage of the 2022 World Cup due to a sprained ankle. Neymar was fouled nine times in the 2-0 victory over Serbia, making him the most fouled player in the opening round of group games.
When Serbian defender Nikola Milenkovic slipped into the Paris Saint-Germain forward in the 80th minute, the forward seemed to twist his ankle.
Prior to being replaced by Manchester United winger Antony, the 30-year-old played for another 11 minutes on the field.
Neymar has a ligament issue, according to tests done on his right ankle, according to team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar.

Maintaining composure is crucial since everyday evaluations will provide us with more knowledge and enable us to make the best choices, according to Lasmar.
The objective, he continued, is for him to heal and participate in the competition.
Danilo won’t be participating in the remaining group stage, according to Lasmar. In the dying moments of the game, the right-back also developed an ankle issue, and he staggered off the field at the end of the game.

After the game, Brazil’s manager Tite allayed concerns that Neymar might not be able to finish the tournament. We are convinced Neymar will continue to play in the World Cup, he remarked.
Neymar, who has scored 75 goals for his nation and is second only to Pele (77) in the all-time scoring rankings, is hoping to help Brazil win the title for the first time after indicating that this might be his final tournament.
Brazil was eliminated by Belgium in the quarterfinals of the 2018 tournament, while Neymar missed Brazil’s humbling 7-1 loss to Germany in the semifinals due to a back injury sustained at the same stage four years earlier.
