While addressing the issue, Brazil's media officer revealed that: "Neymar felt some pain in his right ankle, so that's the reason he left training.

"Because of the number of fouls he suffered in the last match his ankle is a little painful, but he will train normally tomorrow.

"He's not been medically examined. He felt some pain and went to the physiotherapy, and tomorrow he will train normally.

"The intention was not for him to train fully today because it's a post-match training, an easy training for the first 11."
