New Delhi. Brazil will decide on Neymar’s participation in the tournament after the match against Cameroon in the World Cup. Neymar suffered a right ankle injury in the team’s first match against Serbia. After this, he was out of the team for the rest of the group matches. Due to the injury, he will not be able to play in the last group match against Cameroon.
“He is making progress. We are focusing on the match against Cameroon and then we will start the decision-making process about these players. We already have a plan ready for their return,” Brazil assistant coach Cleber Xavier said on Thursday.
Xavier did not elaborate on the plan. Brazil team doctors have not yet given a time frame for Neymar’s return or whether he will be able to return to the tournament.
