Neymar knocks concern Tite as Brazil sweat on another injury setback

Brazil head coach Tite admits he is worried about the fitness of Neymar after the Paris Saint-Germain forward damaged the same metatarsal he broke last February.

Neymar limped out of PSG's Coupe de France victory over Strasbourg on Wednesday following a robust challenge from Moataz Zemzemi.
