Brazil forward Neymar is expected to be fit to face Colombia on Friday in the last eight of the 2014 Fifa World Cup.

"The worst is the knee - it's what's hurting the most," said Brazil spokesman Rodrigo Paiva.

"He will be evaluated again, but team doctor Jose Luiz Runco said fans don't have to worry because he's not a concern for the match."

Paiva added that Neymar may be rested from training if necessary.

Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari had said after Saturday's game against Chile: "We will do our best to put him on the pitch."

Neymar scored Brazil's fifth spot-kick in the penalty shootout, before Chile defender Gonzalo Jara missed to send Scolari's side into the quarter-finals.

"Neymar needs to be valued for what he did because it was a big effort," said Scolari, who criticised English referee Howard Webb for not protecting his star player.

"He played 75 minutes of the match after a strong hit on the thigh and we couldn't understand how somebody hits with that strength and gets no card."
