Brazil’s chief medical officer Rodrigo Lasmar remains uncertain over Neymar‘s ability to play a full 90 minutes just yet.

The Paris Saint-Germain star made his return from a three-month injury lay-off just last week.

He scored a terrific goal to help his side beat Croatia 2-0 in a friendly ahead of the World Cup.

“Look, it’s certain that he has better conditions to play than the previous game. He can start a match,” Lasmar said.

“Whether he will play or not the entire 90 minutes, it will be a situation we monitor during the game, see whether he is tired or not. It will be an analysis to be performed during the match.”

Brazil play their first match against Switzerland on June 17.
