Less than two hours before the confrontation with Switzerland, for the second round of the Qatar Cup, the Brazilian team left, without Neymar, the Westin Doha Hotel & SPA, where the delegation is staying.
Brazil’s number 10 will not accompany the group. He is recovering from a right ankle sprain and will remain under the care of the coaching staff’s physiotherapy team.
The right-back, who suffered the same injury, but on his left ankle, is with the team even though he is unable to play at the 974 stadium, in Doha.
The match against Switzerland, valid for Group G of the World Cup, starts at 13h (BrasÃlia time).
In the opening match, Brazil defeated Serbia (2-0, goals by Richarlison), and the Swiss overcame the Cameroonians (1-0, goal by Embolo).
