Neymar has shared pictures of his injured ankle on Instagram, two days after being taken off in Brazil’s opening World Cup game.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old PSG forward was substituted with ten minutes remaining of his country’s 2-0 win over Serbia on Thursday with a nasty knock.<\/p>\n

And with the key man ruled out for the rest of the group stages, he’s taken to social media to share images of the damage, revealing a visibly swollen and sore ankle, and another with it in protective material. <\/p>\n

The PSG star has shared pictures of his swollen ankle, and protective gear, to his Instagram<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He remains upbeat, however, captioning the post ‘Boraaaa!!!’, which translates to ‘Let’s go!’.<\/p>\n

Neymar is resting and recovering in the Brazil camp, with hopes that he will return for the latter stages if his teammates secure their place in the last-16. <\/p>\n

He has six goals in World Cup history, and will be hopeful to claim more during the knockout phase once he recovers from this ankle issue. <\/p>\n

Brazil face Switzerland and Cameroon in their remaining Group G fixtures across the week to come, but they will have to cope without their defender Danilo, who also a similar knock in the Serbia win. <\/p>\n

Rodrigo Lasmar, the team doctor for Brazil, said: ‘Neymar and Danilo went through a MRI on Friday afternoon and we found ligament damage in the ankle of both of them.<\/p>\n

‘It is important to be calm and evaluate day by day. The idea is to recover them for the rest of the competition.’<\/p>\n

Brazil’s match on Monday sees them trying to defeat the Swiss at Stadium 974, the site of Portugal’s win over Ghana and France’s win over Denmark. <\/p>\n

Neymar’s previous World Cups have been hit by injury issues as well, missing the 2014 semi-final with a back fracture, and having fitness issues in the build-up to the 2018 tournament in Russia. <\/p>\n

He has scored 75 goals for Brazil, just two behind Pele as Brazil’s all-time top goalscorer. <\/p>\n
