Brazil’s star striker Neymar has revealed that the night after he suffered the injury against Serbia in their World Cup opener was a tough one. Immediate reports claimed that Neymar’s swollen ankle had put him out of the remainder of the tournament. 

The striker would have recalled the 2014 edition, when a back injury had prematurely ended his World Cup campaign in his home country. “The night that I injured myself was a very difficult one for me because thousands of things were running through my head like doubt and fear. But I had the support of my teammates and my family to find strength when I thought I had none left.
