DOHA, Qatar (AP) — There’s no Neymar facing Switzerland at the World Cup on Monday. Just Richarlison. And Vinicius Junior. And Raphinha. And Rodrygo.

Switzerland coach Murat Yakin says each of the Brazilian players “is super skilled, even the center backs and goalkeeper.” Neymar’s ankle injury in 2-0 win over Serbia will likely sideline him for the rest of the group stage. Switzerland also started with a win: 1-0 against Cameroon. Brazil and the Swiss met in the 2018 group stage and drew 1-1.
