Brazil soccer star Neymar has been ruled out for at least the remainder of the Group Stage at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
After being forced out of Brazil’s World Cup opener against Serbia on Thursday due to an ankle injury, the news was confirmed that Neymar will be missing some crucial time. Neymar was fouled an unacceptable nine times during the 2-0 win over Serbia, and we now know that the Paris Saint-Germain star will miss time due to ligament damage.
Neymar will miss Monday’s game against Switzerland and next Friday’s match against Cameroon.
Here is a look back at the fouls Neymar took throughout the game.
Disgusting the treatment Neymar receives. He’s basically been kicked out the tournament after one game.
Maybe all those ‘theatrics’ y’all complain about are him protecting himself. For shame.

Yes, you saw that right.
It is one thing to be physical, but at some points, Serbia was blatantly fouling the Brazilian star and even went so far as to pull his jersey over his head at one point during the match.
Hopefully Neymar is able to heal up in time to get back on the field during Brazil’s World Cup run.
