World Cup 2022: Fouling Neymar 'has to stop', Brazil coach Tite says

The high number of fouls on Neymar has to be stopped, according to Brazil's head coach.

After being taken out of the game in the 80th minute with an ankle injury, he cried on the bench.

The 30-year-old was on the receiving end of a tackle from the other player.

Tite said you have to pay attention to the fouls if you want to celebrate.

Specific players are the focus of their attention. The effect is shown here. This needs to stop.

There have been at least 11 fouls against him in the World Cup since his first appearance in the tournament.

He was the player with the most fouls in the first match of the tournament.

The Paris St-Germain forward won't play in Brazil's remaining group stages matches, but Tite is still confident that he'll play at the World Cup.

The World Cup will be played by injured defenders. Tite said he wasn't in a position to speak about medical information.

Both of them will be available to play at the World Cup, even though their situations have evolved.

TEAM NEWS

Brazil are still without a number of players, including a player from Paris St-Germain, as well as a player from Italy.

There is a doubt about whether or not Switzerland forward Renato Steffen will be able to play.

CHRIS SUTTON'S PREDICTION

Switzerland will be happy with their win, but they are not very good.

I think they will cause more problems for Brazil than Serbia did because of their pace up front.

Brazil took a bit of time to get going against Serbia but they showed some of their attacking power in the end.

The prediction was 1-2.
