- — Reuters

Brazil face Switzerlan­d today without their talisman Neymar, ruled out by an ankle injury suffered in their opening 2-0 win against Serbia on Thursday, but midfielder Casemiro thinks they have a host of young talent to step in for him.

“We could spend several days talking about Neymar, the player he is, his qualities and how important he is for our team. It’s unavoidabl­e, he is our biggest player,” Casemiro told a news conference on Saturday.

“However, we have other players that have been performing in the same level like Vinicius Jr, Raphinha Richarliso­n, Gabriel Jesus.”
