Neymar was back in Brazil training on Wednesday, 24 hours after limping out of Tuesday’s session in Sochi with an ankle problem.

The Paris Saint-Germain hero was clutching his right ankle, sparking fears that he had aggravated another injury just weeks after recovering from a fractured foot.

However, the good news for the Samba outfit is that their talisman is fit and ready for action, with Brazil taking on Costa Rica in Group F on Friday in St Petersburg (16:00).

The record five-time World Cup winners were held by Switzerland, 1-1, in their opening match.
