The Paris Saint-Germain forward's just returned from an injury

Brazil star Neymar admitted that he's still not at his best after returning from an ankle injury just weeks before the World Cup. 

Neymar played as Brazil were held to a 1-1 draw by Switzerland in their opening game on Sunday and conceded that he struggled to find top geat in Rostov. 

"I'm fine, the games are coming and I'm feeling better all the time," he said at the Rostov Arena.

Neymar, whose team are among the favourites to win the title, said he has a lot of "hope" placed in the World Cup this year. 

As for the result, a draw with Brazil's goal coming from Philippe Coutinho, he feels the South Americans created enough to win the game. 

Neymar, who missed Brazil's last World Cup semifinal, a 7-1 loss to Germany four years ago, is still not 100 percent, coach Tite acknowledged.
