Neymar returns to Brazil training ahead of World Cup meeting with Costa Rica

Neymar returns to Brazil training

Neymar has returned to training with Brazil after limping out of Tuesday's session with an ankle injury.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward missed Monday's training session with the Selecao, the day after being fouled 10 times during the 1-1 draw with Switzerland in Group E.

Neymar then emerged for Tuesday's workout but only lasted a few minutes before having to come off the field.

Wednesday's session, meanwhile, was closed to the media but the Brazilian football federation stated that the 26-year-old "participated normally in the team's activity".

Neymar, who was sidelined for around three months earlier this year because of a foot injury, is now expected to be fit for Friday's meeting with Costa Rica.
