Neymar arrives to raise spirits at Brazil camp

TERESõPOLIS, Brazil, July 11 (AFP): Injured star Neymar returned to Brazil's training camp in Teresopolis Thursday for the first time since breaking a vertebrae in his back which ended his World Cup.
Neymar was able to walk unaided to greet his teammates, who were training at the time of his arrival, and he will accompany the team to their third place playoff match against the Netherlands Saturday.
Without their top goalscorer, the hosts' hopes of winning the tournament for a sixth time on home soil were crushed as they were thrashed 7-1 by Germany Tuesday.
The 22-year-old had been recovering at his home since suffering the injury in the latter stages of Brazil's 2-1 quarter-final win over Colombia last Friday.
