The 26-year-old returned to full training in mid-May after undergoing the surgery on his fractured right foot in March. The striker has not played since late February and returned to the field in a pre-World Cup 2-0 win over Croatia at the Anfield in Liverpool on 3 June.

"Neymar is not 100 percent [fit] yet, but he is very privileged physically. His sprinting capacity and his speed is very impressive, and he hasn't lost that, but he's not 100 percent [fit] yet. I mean, I hope he will be perfect... He's good enough to play very well," Tite told journalists.

Brazil have been drawn in Group E along with Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia.
