Today has become one of the hardest moments in my career... and again in a world cup 😞 I have an injury yes, it's boring, and it is going to hurt but I'm sure I'll have the chance to come back because I will do my best to help my country, my teammates and myself.

Neymar, 30 years, seemed about to cry as he was being treated on the bench before pictures showed his ankle swelling on his way to the team's dressing room.

Rodrigo Lasmar, the Brazilian national team doctor, confirmed that Neymar would undergo further examinations within the next 24 to 48 hours, after suffering an injury, but Tite, who revealed that Neymar played 11 minutes after his injury, confirmed the player's return to the tournament.

Tite said: He (Neymar) felt this pain throughout the game but decided to stay on the field to help his team.

The Brazilian coach confirmed: We are confident that Neymar will continue to play in the World Cup.
