Neymar ruled out of Copa America





Neymar has been ruled out of Brazil’s 2019 Copa America campaign, after rupturing ankle ligaments in a friendly against Qatar on Wednesday.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward will miss the tournament, due to a ligament rupture in his right ankle.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed the news, after Neymar left Wednesday’s 2-0 friendly win over Qatar in tears.
“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 a ligament rupture in the ankle.
“Due to the seriousness of the injury, Neymar will not have the physical conditions and sufficient recovery time to participate in the Copa America Brazil 2019.
“As of this Thursday, the technical committee of the Brazilian National Team will begin the definition of a substitute,” the CBF said in a statement.
