CONMEBOL's World Cup qualifying to begin with coronavirus, not football, the talking point
Brazil's team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar told journalists at the training ground in Teresopolis that Neymar had already started getting treatment but that it was too soon to say whether he'll be fit for the game at the Neoquimica Arena in Sao Paulo.
"The next 24 hours will be important to see how he will recover,'' Lasmar said.
Footage published by Brazil's football confederation on social media showed Neymar putting his hands on his back and kneeling on the pitch.
Brazil has already lost two starters for the opening rounds of World Cup qualifying as goalkeeper Alisson and striker Gabriel Jesus are both injured.
