Neymar has provided an update on his ankle injury that saw him miss two group stage fixtures for Brazil. The Paris Saint-Germain superstar suffered a knock on his ankle which resulted in him missing the games against Switzerland and Cameroon.
Neymar was expected to be fit for the latter stages of the World Cup, but reports from Brazil suggested he may miss the remainder of the tournament. Brazil were set to make a decision on Neymar’s involvement in the World Cup after their defeat to Cameroon on Friday.
Pictures released after the Serbia match showed the 30-year-old's ankle had become extremely swollen with scans later showing that he had sprained it. There was a chance Neymar has sustained ligament damage which would all but rule him out of the rest of the World Cup in what would be a major blow to Brazil, but the Brazilian winger has confirmed himself to be fit for the clash against South Korea next week.
