Striker Vinicius Junior, Brazil’s starter for the second consecutive time in the Qatar Cup, declared after the victory against Switzerland, in Doha, that Neymar, who did not play due to an ankle injury, had a fever this Monday (28 ).
The painting would have prevented the number 10 from going to the 974 stadium to watch the match.
🇧🇷[Neymar] He was sad because he couldn’t come, because he’s a little bad, not only because of his foot but also a little fever”, said Vinicius Junior, who had a goal disallowed when the game was 0-0 because there was an offside call in the play.
“We are rooting for him to recover as quickly as possible”, added the number 20 of the Brazilian national team.
Neymar, who injured his right ankle on his debut against Serbia, is expected to be out of the team at least until the round of 16 match.
