Brazil head coach Tite said on Thursday that his side's star forward Neymar was fit to play and would start in their World Cup match against Costa Rica.
Brazil are set to face Costa Rica at the St. Petersburg Stadium on Friday.
"Yes. He [Neymar] will be playing. There is no sacrifice. We want to win. It's the World Cup," Tite told journalists when asked if Neymar would be in Brazil's starting lineup.
On Tuesday, Neymar left the team's training session after only 15 minutes, accompanied by the team's physiotherapist, after suffering pain in his ankle.
