Neymar posts pics of his swollen ankle
On Sunday, Neymar posted a picture of his swollen right ankle, that left his fans worried. He suffered the injury due to Serbia defender Nikola Milenkovic tackle and was taken off the field immediately.
The picture showed the status of Neymar’s ballooned right ankle on Sunday. His ankle was red and swollen and became a matter of concern for his team and fans. However, the Brazilian star didn’t lose hope. He made use of a huge compression boot to save his World Cup campaign and it looks like, the strategy is working just fine.
Neymar was in tears while leaving the field, but the latest development comes as a massive boost for the 5-time-champions.

Who will replace Neymar vs Switzerland?
Given the talent and depth Brazil possesses, Neymar’s absence shouldn’t hurt the former champions against Switzerland. However, manager Tite has revealed Neymar’s replacement for the game on Monday. Rodrygo, the 21-year-old is the frontrunner to replace Neymar in the starting XI against the Swiss.
🎙Tite:
“When Rodrygo runs, it looks like he has the ball stuck to his foot.”

Neymar’s tryst with injuries hasn’t been a great one in the past. Fans do remember the 2014 World Cup edition like it was yesterday. The 30-year-old suffered a back injury in the quarterfinal clash against Columbia. He was ruled out of the World Cup, resulting in a 7-1 semi-final loss to Germany.
If Brazil wins against Switzerland, they will make it to the Round of 16 comfortably from Group G. In that case, the team management might decide to give Neymar the additional rest and not play him against Cameroon. They want to save him for the knockouts, and that could be a great strategy. Neymar’s presence in Brazil’s starting XI makes a huge difference; he knows it, but most importantly, the opposition teams know it too.
