Roundup: Neymar in Danger of Missing Multiple Games After Fracas at Copa América

Brazil striker Neymar could be barred for more than one game because of the red card he received after Brazil’s 1-0 loss to Colombia on Wednesday night in the Copa América.

Neymar will miss the Brazilians’ final group-stage match, against Venezuela on Sunday, and he is in danger of receiving a longer suspension that could keep him from playing in the quarterfinals and beyond, if Brazil advances.

After the final whistle of Wednesday’s match, a frustrated Neymar kicked the ball toward the Colombian player Pablo Armero and then tried to head-butt another player who confronted him.
