Mbappe’s injury against Uruguay looked particularly bad. The 19-year-old sensation fell awkwardly on his shoulder and was in a lot of pain before leaving the field.
Neymar looked to have pulled a groin muscle when trying to cross in Brazil’s clash with Cameroon at Stadium MK and looked distraught as he trudged off at Stadium MK.
Both were set to lineup against Liverpool in next Wednesday’s Champions League Group C clash at the Parc de Princes.

Neymar was holding his groin while he limped off and if it is a pulled muscle he will almost certainly miss the match.
On first glance, Mbappe’s injury looked bad but he returned to the bench in the second half to watch the action with his team-mates.
