Neymar injures knee during Brazil training
Neymar is dealing with another injury after limping off the pitch during Brazil's training session on Tuesday with a knee problem.
The Paris Saint-Germain star is undergoing treatment for the injury, as Brazil's medical staff attempts to ensure his availability for the Copa America, which starts in two weeks, according to Thiago Cara of ESPN FC.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said Neymar passed initial tests, which did not show any serious injury, but will remain under observation, Cara added.
Neymar appeared to suffer the injury when he fired a shot on goal before walking gingerly and then holding his left knee.

The injury comes just over a month after Neymar returned to action following a three-month absence as he dealt with a foot issue.
The Copa America will kick off on June 14 when Brazil takes on Bolivia ahead of other group stage matches against Venezuela and Peru.
