The doctor of the Brazilian team, Rodrigo Lasmar, made a statement a little while ago talking about the situation of the player’s ankle, and about the next steps
Despite the good victory of the Brazil regarding the Serbia at the opening of the World Cup, there was an important concern about Neymar’s ankle. The number 10 saw his right foot turn in a bid for the ball with milenkovic, shirt number 4 of the Serbia National Team. After the game, and in the face of concern, the doctor Rodrigo Lasmar gave further updates on the case.
For “Rádio Itatiaia”, which managed to contact the doctor a few minutes after the end of the game, Lasmar said that in fact there was a sprain in the place, with a lot of swelling, as can be seen in photos, but it is not possible to determine the severity until here. The normal procedure is to wait until the swelling subsides before performing more detailed imaging tests.
Tite didn’t think twice and nailed it:
– You can be sure that Neymar will play in the World Cup. He’s going to play the Cup!

After that, the doctor still insisted on making a statement about the situation. In it, he confirmed the information previously made, but asked for calm, since according to him, it is time to wait for the evolution of the player’s ankle to have more details about his situation and the injury in question.
🇧🇷Neymar had a sprain in his right ankle, a direct trauma when his opponent’s knee made a movement causing the sprain. He had a little swelling in his ankle, we started the treatment with ice on the bench and he has now followed the physiotherapy treatment. There is no scheduled imaging exam. If there is a need, we will. But that will be decided by the measure of his evaluation tomorrow. The expectation is observation. Anything we talk about evolution, his sequel, is premature. We don’t have any answers, it’s important to wait“, confirmed at the press conference.
With that, Brazil’s number 10 becomes a doubt for the team’s next game, against Switzerland, for the second round of the World Cup. In his place, Tite can choose to change the structure, putting Fred for example, or do as he did against Serbia, and go to the match with Rodrygo, who has been doing the job for some time, both in the national team and at his club.
