On Friday, Brazilian leader Neymar, preparing for the upcoming clash with Costa Rica, had to leave training today. Yesterday he did not train at all, as he had to endure a total of 10 opponent goals in the match against the Swiss national team. These were just the first official sniper matches since the injury suffered in February. Although the 26-year-old footballer, who scored a goal in a friendly match with Austria, seemed to have returned to decent form, he had to leave training today promising. "Neymar felt a slight pain in his right calf, so that's the reason he left training. His calf hurts a little because he suffered plenty of goals in the last match, but tomorrow he will train as usual," said Vinicius Rodrigues, representative of the Brazilian national team. "He has not undergone medical tests. He felt a slight pain and went for physiotherapy, and tomorrow he will train as usual." "It is normal for a footballer to feel pain, especially if it's Neymar, who has experienced such a number of goals as in the last few matches. He did not train today precisely because he suffered plenty of goals in the last match." "It was planned that he would not train fully today, as it is a training session after the match - for the main eleven, it is an easy training session." It is worth mentioning that four months ago Neymar broke the same right foot, although representatives of the national team claim that today's pain is unrelated to that.
And just like that, Neymar is gone.
