Neymar does push-up punishment after failing to score

The injury to Neymar's knee is not serious. The Brazilian Barcelona striker, who on Thursday morning left training with the Seleçao early because of a sore knee, returned to work normally in the afternoon, with the rest of his teammates.

The striker took place in the friendly match overseen by Dunga as a wildcard, between the first-team and the reserves. Some wore yellow bibs and others played without, but Ney was wearing a  blue top and participated for both of the two teams.

The point is that Neymar would normally be the star of the first-team. However, the penalty he received during the Copa America prevents him from playing the two World Cup qualifier matches, to reach Russia 2018, so Dunga won't use him in the friendlies, since they must serve as preparation for qualifying.

For his part, the player starred in the most curious scene of the day, having to undergo a 'punishment' of ten pushups for failing to score from outside the area against Grolhe Marcelo, with whom he had made a bet.
