Neymar's return from injury for Brazil was better than expected, coach Tite said after their World Cup elimination.
The Brazil star was unable to stop his team from a quarter-final exit as they suffered a 2-1 loss to Belgium in Kazan on Friday.
Neymar scored two goals and provided an assist in five games, having made his return from a broken foot in early June.
He appeared to be rounding into form in time for the business end of the tournament, having delivered a goal to cap a man of the match performance in Brazil's 2-0 victory over Mexico in the round of 16.
