Brazil star Neymar could miss three Copa America games

Neymar is facing a ban of three games at the Copa America, which would rule him out until the final if Brazil got there, after being sent off on Wednesday.

Brazil superstar Neymar has been banned for two games at the Copa America and could receive a further one-game suspension after his red card last night.

The Barcelona forward was already due to miss Brazil's final group game after picking up his second booking of the tournament in the first half against Colombia, but then was given a straight red card for seemingly blasting the ball at Pablo Armero in the closing stages.

In an ugly end to the game, 23-year-old Neymar also appeared to direct a headbutt at Jeison Murillo, who had earlier scored the winner for Colombia, in the aftermath and was then shoved by Carlos Bacca, with the Sevilla striker also seeing red.

He is guaranteed to miss Brazil's last group game and their quarter-final match if they reach the knockout stages, but could also be forced to sit out a semi-final if Brazil make it that far.

Neymar is Brazil's captain and has scored 44 international goals in 65 appearances for the Selecao.
