Neymar will miss Brazil’s final two group games against Switzerland and Cameroon with an ankle injury he suffered in the opening 2-0 win against Serbia.

In 122 appearances since making his national team debut in 2010, Neymar has scored 75 goals and won the Olympic Games with his country in 2016 and the Confederations Cup in 2013.
