The Brazilian national team suffered a heavy blow ahead of the upcoming "Copa America" tournament next summer.

In the World Cup qualifying match against Uruguay on Wednesday, Neymar suffered a serious injury.

The captain of the Brazilian national team ruptured his left knee cruciate ligament and meniscus. This means he will need surgery.

It is not yet clear how long Neymar will be out of action, but it is likely that he will miss the "Copa America" tournament.

The footballer himself reacted to his painful injury on his social network "Instagram" account.

"This is the worst moment of my career. I know I am very strong, but this time I really need the support of family, friends, and even higher powers.

I believe in myself, maybe even too much. I believe that God will help me.

"Thank you all for your messages and support," Neymar wrote.
