(Reuters) - Brazil lost Neymar to an early ankle injury but were still too strong for Asian champions Qatar on Wednesday in a comfortable 2-0 friendly win in Brasilia. Neymar limped off in the 17th minute after he appeared to twist his ankle and was carried to the dressing room with his right ankle wrapped in ice. "It shouldn’t be a very serious injury. The five-times world champions were rarely troubled by a limited Qatar side, who missed a VAR-assisted penalty in injury time. Once again, though, all attention was focused on Neymar, the world’s most expensive player and a polarising figure in the football world.
