Neymar tipped to make u-turn despite "closing the door" comments after World Cup

Luis Suarez has backed Neymar to play in another World Cup despite the Brazilian strongly suggesting the 2022 tournament was his last.

The PSG star has been unable to replicate his heroes by lifting the trophy aloft, falling short in each of his three attempts. The latest blow came in Qatar when Croatia upset the odds by beating the South Americans in a quarter-final penalty shootout.

Neymar had put Brazil 1-0 up in extra-time but the Croats responded and were then faultless from 12 yards to end South American hopes. It means the 31-year-old's best effort at the tournament was the semi-final he reached back in 2014 on home soil.
