Brazil poster boy Neymar has been ruled out of the Copa America with an ankle ligament injury.
The 27-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward suffered the setback in the first half of the Selecao’s 2-0 friendly win over Qatar on Wednesday.
He was in tears when he was helped off the field at Brasilia’s Estadio Nacional with his foot wrapped in ice, and was later seen leaving the stadium on crutches.
“After suffering a sprain in his right ankle during Wednesday’s game against Qatar, Neymar was evaluated and subjected to complementary imaging tests that confirmed ligament rupture in the ankle,” a statement on www.cbf.com read.
“Due to the seriousness of the injury, Neymar will not have the physical conditions and sufficient recovery time to participate in the Copa America Brasil 2019.”
