The Brazilian medical team hasn’t come out and spoken about the severity of Neymar’s injury. It is believed the doctors are going to wait and watch before passing their verdict on the injury suffered by the star player.

Neymar with Al-Hilal FC was supposed to play in India during the AFC Champions League against Mumbai City FC on November 5. That now has been thrown into huge doubt after the injury suffered by the 31-year-old.

Casemiro the national skipper came out and said “Let’s hope it’s nothing serious. He’s an important player for us and we are very fond of him. It’s disheartening to see him suffer so frequently from injuries just as he starts to gain momentum”.

Darwin Nunez gave the home team the lead in the 42^nd minute with a fine finish. The game was all over in the 77^th minute when Nicolas De La Cruz got Uruguay its second goal of the game. The home supporters were delighted as they moved to number two in the table. Neymar though saw the positive and wrote on his social media “God knows everything, no matter what I have faith”
