Wayne Rooney| Brazil have plenty of firepower in them even without Neymar-Wayne Rooney – News18 Malayalam

Former England football player Wayne Rooney said that even without Neymar, Brazil is still a strong team and there are players in the team 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 happened with 10 minutes left in the game. Because of this, Neymar will not be able to play in the match against Switzerland on November 28.

“I’m sure it’s very sad for Neymar. Brazil may 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 that. “They played with great skill and great speed,” Rooney said on Sports18’s Visa Match Centre.

The team and the fans are worried about the injury suffered by Neymar in the first match of the World Cup. Brazil fans now remember Neymar’s injury during the 2014 World Cup against Colombia. Pictures of Neymar standing with a swollen leg were also released. Antony came on the field in the 80th minute to replace Neymar, who fell due to a foul in the 79th minute. In the first match in Qatar, things were favorable to the expectations of the fans and the team, but many of the fans think that Neymar’s injury could be a hindrance.

This time, Neymar was injured in the same right leg, which has been injured several times. The film of Neymar leaving the field crying painfully for the fans even in victory.

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