Brasilia : Brazil superstar Neymar could miss his side’s friendly match against South Korea after injuring his foot during training on the eve of the game. Neymar grabbed his right foot and fell to the turf after colliding with a teammate during the session at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Wednesday.
He was quickly attended to by a trainer and limped off the field, but did not return. During a pre-match press conference, team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said Neymar’s right foot had swollen and it was too early to determine his status for Thursday’s match.
We’ll have to keep an eye on his foot, the doctor said through an interpreter. ‘Right now, it’s difficult to say with any certainty whether he’ll be able to play’ Lasmar said Neymar had been traumatised by a history of right-foot injuries.
Neymar posted an image of his bruised foot on Instagram, showing what appeared to be visible swelling.
