The head of the Brazilian national team broke down in tears during the match against Uruguay, and his leg was put in a brace.
The qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup against Uruguay was doubly painful for the Brazilian national team. We remind you that the Pentacampeons lost to their opponents on the road. However, a bigger blow for them was the loss of their leader, Neymar.
At the end of the first half, the forward received a terrible injury while fighting an opponent for the ball. Neymar injured his left foot while competing with Nicolas De La Cruz. As a result, the star football player was left in tears outside the field.
Neymar is injured. ..
