Summary Brazil star Neymar is getting fitter every day as the striker recovers from a broken foot.
LONDON (AFP) - Brazil star Neymar is getting fitter every day as the striker recovers from a broken foot, Brazil teammate Danilo said from their pre-World Cup training camp in London on Wednesday.
The Paris Saint Germain forward was injured in February and is yet to play a match since then, with two weeks to go before the World Cup kicks off in Russia.
"He s getting better every day, getting faster, more agile and more difficult to defend against," said Manchester City s Danilo, who knows Neymar from his Santos days.
"He s so fast you wouldn t know whether to go, left, right, forwards or backwards," Danilo said of Neymar s trickery.
"We hope he ll be 100% ready or as ready as is possible."
Brazil play Croatia at Liverpool June 3 and against Austria in Vienna on June 10 before their opening World Cup game with Switzerland June 17.
