Limps off holding ankle Neymar (ankle) was brought off with an apparent ankle injury and was later seen putting ice on his ankle while on the bench in clear pain, Alexandre Guariglia reports. Impact Neymar was brought off for Antony but the concern is the clear pain the attacker was in on the bench. Neymar was able to walk off under his own power while clearly limping and immediately had ice put on his ankle on the bench. The forward is the face of the Brazilian national team and the crux of their attack. While this is one of the deepest rosters at the World Cup the loss of Neymar would be a major issue. Antony or Rodrygo would like see more playing time if the issue causes Neymar to miss Monday's clash with Switzerland.
