Neymar will undergo surgery this weekend that will keep him out for up to three months but Brazil's trainer said on Thursday the Paris St Germain striker would definitely be ready for the start of the World Cup in mid-June. The world's most expensive footballer arrived in Brazil on Thursday and will undergo surgery on a fractured metatarsal and a sprained ankle in Belo Horizonte on Saturday. "I can affirm that there is sufficient time for him to be ready for the first match in the World Cup. The injury means the 26-year old will miss Brazil's friendlies later this month against World Cup hosts Russia and reigning champions Germany. After their opening match against Switzerland, the five-times World Cup winners will then face Costa Rica and Serbia.
