LUSAIL, Qatar, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Brazilian striker Neymar should be fine to continue in the World Cup despite limping off with a swollen ankle during his team's 2-0 victory over Serbia on Thursday, coach Tite said.
"We are confident that Neymar will continue playing, he will continue playing in the World Cup," Tite told reporters, confessing that he was initially unaware of his striker's injury.
Team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said Brazil would wait 24-48 hours before assessing Neymar's injury.
Later, however, he appeared to be in tears as he left the pitch with a visibly swollen ankle.
That was reminiscent of the back injury which put Neymar out of the World Cup on home soil in 2014.
