Neymar gives Brazil an injury scare days before World Cup opener

Neymar clutches his ankle in pain during the training session

Brazilian striker Neymar gave his team an injury scare after he twisted his ankle during a practice session.

Neymar is an important player for Verde-Amarela as Brazil looks to claim its sixth title.

Neymar got everyone on his team worried as the Barca star started hobbling and fell onto the ground when he went to close an opponent down.

It was only matter of minutes that he was surrounded by medics. Neymar got up on his feet to resume practice soon after the physios left though.

Brazil will kick of their 2014 FIFA World Cup campaign against Croatia on 12th July 2014.
