Brazil forward, Neymar, is undergoing treatment for a knee injury after pulling up during training on Tuesday, ESPN reports.
Neymar limped away early from the Selecao’s session at their training base in Terosopolis, as they were preparing for next month’s Copa America which takes place in Brazil.
The Paris Saint-Germain star passed initial tests which did not detect any serious injury but will remain under observation, according to Brazil’s Football Confederation (CBF).
Neymar appeared to be in pain after attempting a shot under pressure from defender Thiago Silva and limped away before crouching down and holding his knee.
He left the field soon after alongside Brazil’s team doctor, Rodrigo Lasmar.
It was announced on Sunday that while the players were on a day off, Neymar had lost the captaincy of the national team, with veteran teammate Dani Alves taking the armband.
