Neymar fit to face Colombia

NEYMAR is fully fit and ready to lead Brazil one step closer to their first World Cup on home soil.

Neymar (pictured) scored the winning penalty against Chile last week, but was battered and bruised by the end of the second round clash in Belo Horizonte.

The Barcelona forward had to leave the pitch for treatment on two occasions after taking knocks to his knee and thigh.

But Neymar is making good progress in his recovery and says he will be fit to take part in Brazil's quarter-final clash against Colombia in Fortaleza tomorrow.

Speaking after participating in Brazil's training session at their Teresopolis base last night, Neymar said: "I am able to play against Colombia. "I have no pain. I feel very well trained and rest assured, I'm fine."
