Brazil chained their fourth match without a victory by drawing in a friendly with Nigeria (1-1), this Sunday in Singapore, in a match marked by the injury of Neymar, who left with discomfort in his left thigh.
In the 8th minute, the 27-year-old player grabbed his thigh shortly after a sprint, but continued on the field until he was substituted by Philippe Coutinho five minutes later.
On the bench, the medical team of the 'Seleçao' put an ice pack on the back of the attacker's thigh, who was playing his 101st match with Brazil.
Casemiro scored the goal 1-1 between Brazil vs Nigeria in international friendly match.
This injury could jeopardize his return to the Champions League on the field of Brujas, on October 22, with PSG.
Brazil, who has not won since winning the Copa America, extended their losing streak. They had also drawn 1-1 against Senegal on Thursday, in their other match played in Singapore.
In September, they drew 2-2 against Colombia and lost 1-0 to Peru.
As the protagonist of a very good first half, Nigeria went into halftime ahead thanks to Joe Aribo's goal (34).
In the second half, Brazil had a good handful of chances. Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro equalized (48) by scraping a header from Marquinhos that hit the crossbar.
Casemiro himself had the victory in his head at the hour mark, but his shot hit the crossbar.
