Neymar was “sad” after suffering an untimely injury with Paris Saint-Germain but remains on course to make the World Cup, claims Brazil’s national team doctor.
The 26-year-old suffered a broken metatarsal during a Ligue 1 fixture with Marseille on February 25.
It was established, after some initial confusion, that he would require surgery and could be sidelined for up to three months.
His readiness for this summer’s global showpiece in Russia was immediately cast into doubt, but Dr Rodrigo Lasmar says any initial fears have been calmed.
