NEYMAR revealed the gruesome extent of ankle injuries after being forced to withdraw from the Copa America.
The Brazilian wizard broke his ligaments at the right ankle during his country's preparation match against Qatar last night.
And the Samba Boys will now be without their captain for the centerpiece after tests have revealed the extent of the damage.
Now, 27-year-old Neymar himself has hinted at the shock after being first seen leaving the Qatar conflict on crutches.
And that does not look pretty after he's shown a sickly bulge just above his foot on Instagram.
The most expensive player in the world stopped in tears after a brutal tackle, just hours after a woman accused her.
Neymar had a huge layer of ice around her ankle as 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 Brasilia's friendly matches 2-0 thanks to Everton's Richarlison and Gabriel Jesus goals while the Premier League pair claimed start positions for the tournament.
The star leaves the tournament under a cloud after a model accusing Neymar of rape has gone on television to describe her alleged "aggressive" attack.
Najila Trindade, 26, repeated her claims and released a video of her attacking the PSG striker, telling SBT Brazil: "I have been raped".
He firmly denies the allegations and claims that she is trying to extort him.
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.
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.
