Neymar 'WILL be fit to play for Brazil again this World Cup with his return earmarked for the last 16' allaying fears of a repeat of 2014 when he was ruled out for the tournament after injuring his back

Brazil can breath an enormous sigh of relief after it was reported that Neymar would be fit enough to play a part in the remainder of their World Cup campaign.

Neymar injured his ankle in a collision with Nikola Milenkovic in Brazil's opening round win over Serbia and after trying to continue, was withdrawn for Manchester United's Antony in the 80th minute.

Fears over his viability for Brazil for the rest of the tournament in Qatar had been heightened when he was seen in tears on the bench with his shirt over his head as a team of physios inspected his ankle.
