北京时间11月29日凌晨，在卡塔尔世界杯G组第二轮小组赛中，内马尔缺阵的巴西队1:0击败瑞士队，提前锁定一个16强席位。
面对瑞士队的顽强防守，直到第83分钟，巴西队终于通过一次撞墙配合找到机会，卡塞米罗禁区左侧得球后凌空抽射将球打进，瑞士人守了几乎整场的防线在最后时刻告破。
Casemiro struck late as Brazil secured a berth in the World Cup knockout phase with a 1-0 win over Switzerland in their Group G match on Monday. Casemiro finally made the breakthrough for Brazil in the 83rd minute.
第二轮战罢，巴西队以两战全胜积6分稳居小组第一，瑞士队1胜1负积3分暂列第二。第三轮比赛，巴西队将对阵喀麦隆队，瑞士队则将与塞尔维亚队展开较量。
在赛后，内马尔发推盛赞队友，称卡塞米罗“在很长一段时间以来都是世界上最好的中场。”
After the match finished, Neymar tweeted: "Casemiro has been the best defensive midfielder in the world for a long time."
不过，相比球队获胜，内马尔的情况同样是媒体关注焦点。美联社报道称，内马尔是唯一没有随队到比赛现场的球员，他在酒店里接受治疗。
Neymar was the only player who did not go to Stadium 974 for the team’s second match in Qatar.
队友维尼修斯透露，内马尔很遗憾不能来到现场，他感觉不舒服。除了脚伤，内马尔还有一点发烧，“我们都希望他能尽快恢复。”
“He was sad he couldn’t come to the game,” Vinícius Júnior said. “He wasn’t feeling well. Not only because of the foot, but also because he had a little bit of a fever. We are hoping that he can recover as soon as possible.”
在11月24日的卡塔尔世界杯G组首轮比赛中，巴西队2:0击败塞尔维亚队，取得世界杯“开门红”。然而，队中球星内马尔受伤离场的一幕，却给“桑巴军团”的前景蒙上一层阴影。（戳这里回顾）
巴西队队医罗德里格·拉斯玛尔25日宣布，在卡塔尔世界杯小组赛首轮比赛中受伤的内马尔和达尼洛，会缺席球队下一轮28日与瑞士队的比赛。
Brazilian team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar confirmed Neymar and Danilo would miss the team’s next match against Switzerland on Monday.
“通过今天的核磁共振检查，我们发现两名球员都是脚踝韧带损伤。”拉斯玛尔说。“我可以确认两名球员将缺席下一轮比赛。”拉斯玛尔说，“我们将非常小心，确保两名球员能够健康回到世界杯赛场。”
"Neymar and Danilo had an MRI scan this afternoon and we found ligament damage in the ankle of both of them," Lasmar told reporters. "They will miss the next game for sure and we will be cautious as they will undergo treatment in order to try to get them in shape so they can play again in the World Cup."
*Notes：除了用miss（错过，缺席），外媒还使用rule out of报道内马尔缺阵。根据《韦氏词典》的解释，rule out of作为习语专指排除在出场名单外（ to remove someone from a competition, contest, etc.）。
在与塞尔维亚的比赛中，内马尔被对手犯规多达9次，是首轮被犯规最多的球员。队医没有给出内马尔恢复的时间表。
Lasmar did not give a timetable for Neymar’s recovery. He was fouled nine times, the most of all World Cup players after the first round of matches in the group stage.
不过，ESPN援引消息人士说法称，内马尔还可能缺席第三轮与喀麦隆队的比赛。
ESPN称，内马尔伤情引发他将持续缺席比赛的担忧。
There were fears that the injury Neymar sustained - would see them sidelined for the rest of the tournament.
与内马尔同在巴黎圣日耳曼队效力的巴西队后卫马尔基尼奥斯称，“他（内马尔）睡觉都在做物理治疗，一天24小时都做。这能看出来内马尔多想重回球队。”
“He is sleeping in physiotherapy, doing physiotherapy 24 hours a day. This shows how much he wants to be with us,”Marquinhos said of Neymar's injury.
不过，巴西队主教练蒂特则希望打消大家对于内马尔伤势严重的担忧，他保证如果有需要，内马尔可以克服伤痛带来的障碍。
Brazil manager Tite played down fears that Neymar's injury was serious after Thursday's match, guaranteeing the Paris Saint-Germain forward would fight through the pain barrier if needed.
*Notes：Play down的意思是“对…作低调处理；淡化…的重要性或糟糕程度（to make something seem less important or less bad than it really is）”。
ESPN：巴西队主教练蒂特对内马尔脚踝伤愈参赛保持信心（confident）。
内马尔本人则在社交媒体上发声，称他“正经历生涯中最艰难的时刻。”他说，“我现在有伤病没错，很让人厌烦，很疼痛，但是我确信我有机会回归，因为我愿意尽一切所能帮助我的国家、我的队友和我自己。等着敌人就这样击败自己？绝不！”
“Today became one of the most difficult moments of my career……I have an injury yes, it's boring, it will hurt but I'm sure I will have the chance to return because I will do everything possible to help my country, my teammates and myself. A Long time to wait for the enemy to take me down like this? NEVER! ”
