Neymar shows he is ready for World Cup comeback as PSG star kicks ball around with his son


NEYMAR has shown he’s ready to make his comeback from a foot injury ahead of this summer’s World Cup… after showing himself having a kickabout with his son.

The Brazilian superstar, 26, is currently on the sidelines as he recovers from surgery on his metatarsal.

Neymar had originally been tipped to be in for a real battle to be ready for this summer’s tournament, but appears to be making good progress.

In a video posted on his Instagram, Neymar – still wearing a cast and on crutches – aims a left-footed pass to his son Davi Lucca.

The six-year-old kicks the ball in the air when it comes to him and Neymar uses his heavily-protected right foot to control it.

The video is the first time Neymar has been filmed kicking a ball since he injured his fifth metatarsal against Marseille on February 25.

The 26-year-old is expected to return to the French capital in May to continue his rehabilitation.

He recently told reporters in his native Brazil: “I am going to have enough time to get to the World Cup and prepare myself.

PSG recently won Ligue 1 in Neymar’s absence, wrapping up the title with a stunning 7-1 victory over Monaco.
