Can Brazil do it without Neymar?

One of the earlier challenges encountered by Brazil is injury to starman Neymar Jr, who got injured in the closing stages of the win over Serbia and will miss the remaining group stage games.

Neymar could return for the knockout stages if Brazil progress to the next round and will return to boost the morale of the South American giants.

Brazil beat Switzerland 1-0 in their second group game but appeared to struggle without their talisman Neymar, and relieed on a late strike by Casemiro to beat the Swiss

Ronaldo defends Neymar political stance

Sports Brief earlier reported that Ronaldo defended Neymar against Brazilians, few of whom rejoiced after the PSG attacker was injured over the attacker's political stance.

Neymar was vocal in his support for former president Jean Bolsonairo much to the dismay of many Brazilians though he was eventually defeated.

Whatever the view of some Brazilians on Neymar is, he represents their best chance of lifting football's biggest trophy. They need to get behind their man and wish him quick recovery.
