Neymar's injury record is a major concern for Brazilians as the the team continue its stay in Qatar. Neymar was badly miss at the 2014 edition when Germany massacred Brazil by 7-1 in the quarter-finals. He was injured during the game against fellow South American opponent, Colombia. Presently the team possess viable attacking options that can penetrate stubborn defence lines.
The duo of Arsenal forward, Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli were came on in the second half show against the Serbians, Anthony also gets some world cup minutes, Vinicius dazzled and grabbed assist while Richarlison made headline with his brace. Can they fill Neymar's void? that's the question that begs answer from millions of lips talking about the mundial.
Undoubtedly, Neymar is an endowed player but Brazil is blessed with players who have garnered experiences which can be the deciding factor when facing the Swiss. Tite would have been working round the clock to decipher means of securing round of 16 ticket at this stage in the absence of Neymar, who has scored 75 goals for the country.
