The most expensive player in the world, 27, was out of the field in tears after a difficult tackle.
Neymar had a huge layer of ice around her right ankle while medical staff escorted her to the locker room at Mane Garrincha Stadium.
The worried coach Titus replaced him with the Gremio Everton Soares striker in 21 minutes.
He was then photographed leaving the 72,000 on the ground with crutches.
The home team won the friendly matches of Brasilia 2-0 thanks to goals from another player from Everton, Richarlison and Gabriel Jesus, while the Premier League pair claimed starting positions for the tournament.
Neymar was Brazil's poster for the Copa America, which starts in less than 10 days. He faces a third major tournament: the misfortune of injuries.
CURSE INJURY STILL INJURED
He was a shadow of himself in Russia last summer when Brazil stammered after facing a race against time to be in shape.
But it was four years earlier at the 2014 World Cup in his home country that he left the tournament due to injury, before Brazil was crushed 7-1 by Germany in a defeat in the amazing semifinal.
Neymar made amends by winning Olympic gold with the Samba Boys in 2016 at the Rio Games.
PSG's ace, at £ 195 million, missed most of the second half of his club's season due to a metatarsal injury and further aggravated the same leg.
He had been suspended after PSG's incredible 3-1 defeat against Manchester United, having been criticized by referee X in the tunnel, while he had not played in any leg .
He is currently serving another suspension for seeming to touch a fan after the defeat of PSG in the Coupe de France last month.
The Tite team has another friendly match before the tournament against Honduras on Sunday before starting its Copa America group stage against Bolivia the following Saturday, while facing Venezuela and Peru.
A model who accused Neymar of rape was on TV to describe his alleged "aggressive" attack.
Najila Trindade, 26, repeated her statements against the PSG striker, telling SBT Brazil: "I've been raped".
He firmly denies the allegations and claims that she is trying to extort him.
