He felt pain again in first-half stoppage time, this time in the left hamstring, which led to his substitution early in the second half, with the number 19 coming on.

At the interval he was helped from the pitch by Neymar and Endrick, indicating his left leg.

In the opening 45 minutes he attempted two shots, one a header, and completed 32 of 42 passes, misplacing 10.

He was also hit in the face by a Bruno Guimarães shot and clipped by Casemiro while trying to block the ball in midfield.
