2022 World Cup: Neymar shares new update on injury

Neymar shared an encouraging update on his injury rehabilitation, posting a photo showing a significant swelling reduction on his ankle.

Neymar was forced to limp off with a swollen ankle in the final 10 minutes of Brazil’s World Cup opener against Serbia. After the match, he vowed to come back soon and help his country with a post on Instagram. The Brazilian has now shared a photo that showed the swelling on his ankle going down fast.

While Neymar is recovering fast from his injury, it remains unlikely that the PSG star will return to action before the knockout stage. However, reports in Brazil are cautiously suggesting that he may feature in some capacity during the Selecao’s final group game against Cameroon on Friday.
