Brazil team news: How Brazil could line up vs Costa Rica without Neymar?
NEYMAR is an injury doubt ahead of Brazil's World Cup clash with Costa Rica – how could the South American side cope without their main man?
Neymar limped out of Brazil training on Tuesday afternoon, raising fears he could miss Brazil’s remaining World Cup Group E matches.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward took part in just 15 minutes of training before leaving the pitch with a physio.
Neymar appeared to be complaining about his ankle, with the 26-year-old having received some rough treatment during Brazil’s 1-1 draw with Switzerland.
Brazil manager Tite has several options available if Neymar is unable to feature against Costa Rica, with Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino a likely alternative.
However, Philippe Coutinho could move into a more advanced role with Fernandinho drafted into central midfield, while Douglas Costa is also an option on the left wing.
