Brazil's Neymar Could Miss 2022 World Cup Group Stage With Ankle Injury

Brazil star Neymar reportedly may miss the remainder of the 2022 FIFA World Cup group stage after suffering an ankle injury during a 2-0 win over Serbia on Thursday.

According to ESPN's Pedro Ivo Almeida and Thiago Cara, the Brazilian football association confirmed Friday that Neymar will not play Monday against Switzerland, but sources indicated Neymar may also miss next Friday's group-stage finale against Cameroon.

If Neymar does indeed miss the rest of the group stage, Brazil's hope is he will be back for the round of 16, provided Brazil advances to the knockout stage.
