Neymar has provided Brazil with a fresh injury concern after he limped out of training on Tuesday, sparking fears he could miss their second World Cup Group E clash with Costa Rica this Friday.
The Brazilian superstar winced in pain after kicking a football during a fairly tame training drill.
Neymar left the Rostov Arena limping but told media that there was nothing to worry about, and his appearance in training on Tuesday allayed any fears that he had suffered yet another heartbreaking injury at a World Cup following his 2014 anguish.
However, the Brazilian Football Association [CFB] moved to ease any fears over a long-term injury by confirmed he had “complained of ankle pains due to the number of fouls suffered against Switzerland”, and that he is expected to return to training on Wednesday.
