Neymar acknowledged on Sunday that he was “not yet at 100 percent” after surgery on his fractured right foot, but the Brazil forward said he was ready to play for his country at the World Cup. “It’s going to take a bit more time for this fear to go away, but I’m ready to play. Nothing can stop me from doing so,” Neymar added, hours before a planned flight to London where the team will continue their World Cup preparations. “It’s a dream to play in another World Cup, a dream which I hope won’t be interrupted again,” he said. The five-time world champions play their opening match in Group E against Switzerland on June 17 in Rostov-on-Don.
