Neymar is set to miss the rest of the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar after learning of his sprained ankle injury, which forced him off in the opener against Serbia, a match that Brazil won 2-0.
His ankle has been plaguing the Brazilian striker for almost his entire career and has kept him out for almost 300 days since he signed for Barcelona in 2013.
The doctors of the Brazilian national team are aware of the problems he has there and that is why there is real concern around an area that is a torment for the player.

Neymar wanted to share with all his followers the state of his ankle on Instagram, where a large swelling can be seen.
The Brazilian had to be substituted after the tackle, but luckily he was able to leave the field limping on his own feet.
Brazil are optimistic that their star player will be available for the last 16 of the World Cup, should they confirm their qualification.
