Neymar returns to Brazil team training as Selecao receive huge injury boost

Neymar returned to Brazil training at the World Cup on Wednesday, a day after quitting a session early due to an ankle issue.

The 26-year-old forward took part in all exercises in “normal” fashion at the behind closed doors session in Sochi, according to the Brazilian federation CBF.

Neymar is not considered a doubt for Brazil’s second Group E game against Costa Rica in St Petersburg on Friday.

Brazil were held to an opening 1-1 draw by Switzerland on Sunday and trail group leaders Serbia, who started with a 1-0 win over Costa Rica.
