Brazil Expects Neymar to Return from Injury During World Cup amid '24-Hour' Rehab

Brazil manager Tite said both Neymar and Danilo will return from injuries suffered in the opening World Cup match against Serbia.

"I believe that Neymar and Danilo will play the World Cup," Tite told reporters, per Tom Hamilton of ESPN. "I believe in that. Medically, clinically, they can talk more about the stages of the treatment. [But] I have no place to talk. I trust that we will be able to use both of them."

Neymar suffered an ankle injury in Thursday's 2-0 victory, coming off in the 80th minute. He has been ruled out for the upcoming match against Switzerland on Monday and will reportedly miss the final group-stage match against Cameroon, per Hamilton.
