Brazil star Neymar has celebrated his return to training as he steps up his recovery from injury – with the forward in line to make his comeback on Monday night against South Korea in their last-16 World Cup tie.
Neymar missed Brazil’s games against Switzerland and Cameroon after suffering an ankle problem in their opening fixture against Serbia.
There were fears that the 30-year-old could be sidelined for the remainder of the tournament but Brazil boss Tite has confirmed the good news for his side.
