Brazil star Neymar suffers injury scare in training

Neymar suffers an injury scare in training after going down with an ankle problem a matter of days before the World Cup begins.

Brazil were close to suffering a huge blow just days ahead of the World Cup when Neymar went down with an ankle injury during a training session.

The Barcelona star has become the face of the tournament, which gets underway on Thursday when the hosts Brazil take on Croatia in Sao Paulo.

However, there were concerns when Neymar received treatment on the training field after rolling his ankle during a training session outside of Rio de Janeiro.

According to the Daily Mail, the 22-year-old was able to recover in time to complete the session, which has calmed fears that he could be an injury doubt.

Brazil will also face Mexico and Cameroon in Group A.
