Neymar may be on the mend, but Brazil will still have to do without their talisman when they take on Switzerland on Monday.
PSG forward Neymar is out of the group stages at least, after a nasty ankle injury in the opening 2-0 win over Serbia that kicked off their Group G campaign. He posted an update on Sunday suggesting the problem was easing, but the extent of his participation in the rest of the tournament still remains in doubt.
In his absence, the burden of carrying favorites Brazil into the knockout stages of the 2022 FIFA World Cup will likely fall on Richarlison.
The Tottenham man stole the limelight against the Serbs with a stunning double, including an early goal-of-the-tournament contender.
He is now expected to lead the line again versus Switzerland, in a repeat of the 2018 group stage matchup in Russia when these two sides shared a 1-1 draw.
A similar result this time would more than do for the Swiss, who opened their challenge with a 1-0 win against Cameroon courtesy of Breel Embolo's goal.
Here's how you can watch all the action in the United States.
