Neymar: 'I'm not fully fit yet'

Neymar has insisted that he is not yet fully fit ahead of Brazil's World Cup campaign.

As the first match of the tournament edges closer, the 22-year-old claims that he is still working hard to be 100% following a long debut season with Barcelona.

Despite his fitness concerns, Neymar was able to play 90 minutes and score in Brazil's 4-0 victory over Panama on Tuesday night.

"I'm not ready yet," Neymar told reporters after the game. "I'm still lacking a bit of match fitness and I'm a little tired at the end of the game but we will arrive at the tournament in perfect physical shape."

Brazil play their opening Group A game against Croatia on June 12.
