Turin: Neymar took part in Brazil’s training session on Tuesday, his first with the national team ahead of the World Cup.
The star forward joined the group later than the rest of the players because of a problem with his flight from France, where he finished the first part of the season with Paris Saint-Germain.
He left the training session about half an hour before his teammates.
Neymar’s PSG teammate Marquinhos also arrived later. The defender had a light practice session on Tuesday.
