Neymar received a call-up to the Brazil national football team, but concerns have now emerged after the forward reportedly suffered an injury. One of the national team’s leaders was asked about the situation — and he clearly did not appreciate the question.
Details: During a press conference, Casemiro was asked about Neymar’s injury, but the midfielder reacted rather aggressively.
Quote: “Here we go again — we come here and all anyone wants to talk about is Neymar, Neymar, Neymar… I believe Neymar is the same kind of player as everyone else in the squad, an important player among the other 26,” Casemiro said.
The latest reports regarding Neymar’s condition have sparked serious concern and cast doubt over his participation in the World Cup.
Reminder: The federation could exclude Neymar from the national team squad for the World Cup.
