Neymar, 30, went off in tears during Brazil’s 2-0 win over Serbia this week.

The Paris Saint-Germain star suffered ligament damage after being clattered by defender Nikola Milenkovic.

And Brazil team doctors issued a worrying update afterwards after Neymar’s right ankle ballooned in size.

It was quickly confirmed that the Samba Boys’ talisman would miss the remainder of the group stage.

But Neymar has now issued a fresh update on his injury with a series of pictures on Instagram.

Several snaps showed his ankle still looking red and swollen, which is sure to worry fans.

But Neymar gave supporters hope as he flashed a cheeky grin – while also revealing a huge compression boot to assist his recovery for the knockout stages.

The magic forward has already revealed his determination to bounce back and lead his side out again.

And Brazil legend Cafu believes crocked Neymar should take it as a compliment that he gets kicked to high heaven by opponents.

Cafu told SunSport: “I don’t see it as true aggression against him. Some of the fouls are a little bit tougher than others

“But what happens is the great stars who have more retention of the ball like Ronaldo and Neymar, will have a high probability of suffering fouls.

“It is only natural. But until now, I haven’t seen any intentional fouls that will result in serious injury.

“Brazil has a lot of very powerful strikers and when one is out, the others take their place to help.

“It is why Brazil is so strong as a team. The whole squad comes together.

“This Brazilian team has a big set of stars, but they are all allowed them to stand out and shine.

“They can perform the same with or without Neymar, just like the French team is without some great players.

“Neymar can change the game around from one moment to another, but we have many great players and Brazil will continue playing.”;
