Brazil to take Neymar call after Cameroon tie

Brazil will re-evaluate Neymar’s condition and decide about his chances of playing again at this year’s World Cup after Friday’s game against Cameroon.

Neymar hurt his right ankle in the team’s opener against Serbia and was ruled out for the rest of the group stage. Also not playing against Cameroon because of injury were right back Danilo and left back Alex Sandro.

“They are progressing,” Brazil assistant coach Cleber Xavier said on Thursday. “We are focused on the game against Cameroon, and then we will start the decision-making process about these players.”
