WATCH: Angry Neymar stripped of Brazil captaincy, reacts to being nutmegged by teenager and then leaves training injured


Things have gone from bad to worse for Neymar as he limped out of Brazil training after previously reacting badly to being nutmegged by a 19-year-old newcomer.

Neymar has already been stripped of the Brazil captaincy for the Copa America after his altercation with a Paris St Germain fan back in France.

It didn't get much better for the Brazilian superstar as teenager Weverton showed no fear of facing such a big name in training with a nutmeg on the biggest name in Samba football right now.

Neymar, as could have been expected, did not react well and promptly dragged Weverton to the ground by his training bid after suffering the classic nutmeg which annoys footballers so much.

If that petulant act wasn't enough, the day went from bad to worse for Neymar as he then had to limp out of training after apparently hurting his left knee while having a shot at goal.

Neymar was stripped of the captaincy by coach Tite and replaced by PSG team-mate Dani Alves after the coach came under increasing pressure to act on his bad behaviour in France.
