Brazil 2-0 Serbia
Neymar's World Cup could be in jeopardy already.
The 30-year-old was brought off the field in the 80th-minute during Brazil's 2-0 win over Serbia on Thursday, after a heavy tackle from Nikola Milenkovic left him hobbling.
The Brazilian superstar covered his face whilst receiving treatment and appeared as if he may be in tears at one point.
The image below shows some of the extent of the sprain.
Neymar hasn't had the best luck when it comes to his right foot.
He missed out on Brazil's victorious 2019 Copa America campaign after sustaining torn ligaments in his right ankle and was also out for several weeks in 2021 with a similar injury.
The sprain is being examined, but head coach Tite is positive, saying: "We are confident Neymar will continue playing in the World Cup."

BBC Sport in Qatar
We have met so many people from different countries here in Qatar.
Two friends were riding the metro earlier as I made my way to the Khalifa International Stadium ahead of Netherlands v Ecuador.
I spotted one of them wearing a Chelsea shirt. “Ah you support Chelsea?” I asked.
He replied, “Yes, and Brazil. I am from Brazil but I have lived here in Qatar for eight years.”
We have a long conversation about some of our favourite Premier League players. His friend, it turns out, is a Liverpool fan and is rooting for England at the World Cup.
“Mohamed Salah! Jadon Sancho!” he cheers.
Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino comes up next. I bring up that Brazil have so many attacking players and he couldn’t make the squad. “Yes, we love Neymar. Richarlison’s goal last night? Wow, wow, wow.”

England v USA (19:00 GMT)
Harry Maguire spoke to the media alongside boss Gareth Southgate yesterday as England prepare for their second group game against USA at 19:00 GMT on Friday.
Maguire has had a difficult start to the season, only making four Premier League appearances for Manchester United, but Southgate opted to stick by the 29-year-old, who has played significant roles at England's last two major tournaments.
The Sheffield-born defender said "criticism is part of being a footballer" when asked on Thursday afternoon.

Time to break off from our England build-up momentarily.
BBC pundit Chris Sutton has something he wants to say...
England v USA (19:00 GMT)
Manager Gareth Southgate tells BBC Sport's Kelly Somers that England must raise their level further against the USA and that a performance like their 6-2 win over Iran in their opening game "won't be enough".
England saw a penalty call turned down in that game, and were highlighted as an example in a pre-tournament briefing by referees, and Southgate says certain decisions going against England are "a concern".
BBC Sport pundit Rio Ferdinand says some of his superstar England team-mates "shrunk" under the pressure of international football.
The defender won 81 England caps between 1997 and 2011.
Hopefully we won't see anyone shrinking this evening...
England v USA (19:00 GMT)
Midfielder Jude Bellingham played a huge part in England's 6-2 win over Iran in their opening game.
The 19-year-old glanced home an early header to notch his first international goal and put England ahead.
The Borussia Dortmund man got lots of praise from the BBC pundits post match.
How big a role will he play tonight and throughout this tournament?
England v USA (19:00 GMT)
I'm really pleased Harry Kane has been declared fit for England to face the United States but we have to look after him - and Gareth Southgate could still turn to Marcus Rashford to lead the line if he does not want to risk his captain.
Kane has been able to train after suffering an ankle injury in our 6-2 win over Iran, and a scan showed there is no serious damage, but it was a reminder we must think about who would replace him in Qatar if needed - and I am happy with our options.
The most obvious Plan B is to put Newcastle striker Callum Wilson up front, because he plays down the middle for his club and he can play at least part of the provider role that Kane does so well.
I was so pleased with Wilson's decision to pass to Jack Grealish for our final goal on Monday rather than have a shot himself, and that is the kind of collective thinking that Southgate will love.
If he thinks we need a kind of backboard against the US or any other side - a player for us to feed so he can play in other people - then Wilson is the best man for the job.
England v USA (19:00 GMT)
Time to have a look at England. as they prepare to face the USA in tonight's late game.
Victory for England will see them qualify for the knockout stages and all but guarantee them top spot in Group B...

Reporting from Cardiff
The tension here in cardiff has been unbearable at times, with the crowd that was so loud throughout the 90 minutes silenced in the depth of injury time.
No qualms here over the red card, although expectations were high and have now been dashed by this unexpected loss.

They’re open until 23:00 GMT tonight here in the Depot venue in Cardiff, where the party atmosphere lives on as the celebrations of Wales’ first appearance in a World Cup since 1958 is still worth making the most of…

A colour-blindness awareness association has criticised the choice of kits chosen for the match between Cameroon and Switzerland on Thursday.
The Colour Blind Awareness society said the combination of Switzerland's red kit with Cameroon's green strip would have created issues for some viewers who would not have been able to distinguish between the teams.
In both cases the two colours are seen in a colour closer to black.
Fifa regulations state that colour-blind people must be taken into account when choosing shirt colours for each match, "if available".
"We have worked with Fifa since the last World Cup to help it establish regulations on shirt colours," Kathryn Albany-Ward, the society's chief executive, told Reuters.
"Fifa recognises that red versus green will be traumatic for people with color blindness and that other colors interfere with it," she added.
