Wayne Rooney| Brazil has enough firepower even without Neymar-Wayne Rooney – News18 Malayalam

Former England footballer Wayne Rooney has said that even without Neymar, Brazil are still a strong team and there are players in the squad who can replace him. Neymar was injured during the World Cup match against Serbia in Group G. Neymar collided with Nikola Milenkovic in the second half of the match. This resulted in an ankle injury. The injury occurred 10 minutes from the end of the match. For this reason, Neymar will not be able to play in the match against Switzerland on 28 November.

“I’m sure it’s very sad for Neymar. Brazil could also be disappointed. But they have a lot of talent in their team. Even when he left the team due to injury, it didn’t affect them. You saw it. “They played with great skill and great pace,” Rooney said during Sports18’s Visa Match Center show.

The team and the fans are worried about the injury suffered by Neymar in the first match of the World Cup. Brazilian fans now remember Neymar’s injury during the 2014 World Cup against Colombia. Photos of Neymar standing with a swollen leg have also been released. Antony entered the field in the 80th minute in place of Neymar, who was fouled in the 79th minute. In the first match in Qatar, things were favorable to the expectations of the fans and the team, but many fans think Neymar’s injury could be a setback.

This time, Neymar was injured in the same right leg, which was injured many times. The footage of Neymar leaving the pitch crying is painful for fans even in victory.

Brazil were out of the 2014 World Cup after Neymar was ruled out with an injury. He was injured in the 88th minute of the match against Colombia. He beat Colombia in the quarterfinals but lost miserably to Germany 7-1 in the semifinals.
