'Neymar will help Brazil become World Cup champions'

The former PSG and Barcelona player said: ''I'm waiting for him, of course, we're all waiting for him. I imagine that he will be fine and he will play his part and help Brazil win the next World Cup.''

Neymar is currently recuperating in his native Brazil after undergoing surgery on his foot, after picking up an injury against Marseille in late February.

Despite acknowledging that there is not finalised date for his return tot the competition, the striker assured that he was aiming to return to the World Cup in top form, if not better, and that he has had sufficient time to recover to full fitness.
