- Neymar is working hard to make Brazil's World Cup squad to Russia this summer
- The 26-year-old broke his toe in one of PSG's cup games in late February
- He has now revealed that he hopes to conquer his fears to help his national team reach their goal at the tournament
Paris Saint Germain superstar Neymar fears he might not be at his best in Russia due to the foot injury he suffered earlier this year.
The 26-year-old winger has not featured for either Brazil or PSG since he broke his toe in his side’s 3-0 victory over Marseille in a cup game back in February.
Though, he feels he will be fit for his side’s World Cup opener against Switzerland on June 17, he has now casted doubts over his mental state following the injury.
Speaking on the YouTube channel of Brazil legend Zico, Neymar said he will work hard to get rid of the fear so as to be able to inspire his teammates to victory at the global championship.

"Everything's going well, thank God, but there's always this fear when you come back. I need to get rid of that fear as soon as possible to arrive at the World Cup."
The former Barcelona star will rejoin his teammates at PSG to begin full training at the Parc Des Princes for this year’s summer games.
Neymar joined the Parisians in a world record transfer fee worth £198 million in a four year deal, but a year after his move to France, he has already been tipped with a move away from the club.
The Brazil forward was said to have admitted that he misses life at his previous club, where he won a treble in 2015, especially his relationship with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

He said: "There was a game where I dribbled several players and then gave a pass.
"Messi dribbled several players in another play and he (Suarez) tried to do the same dribbling and then a backflip pass.
"We (Neymar and Messi) started to laugh at him. We were so intimate that we could laugh at each other when one couldn't do things. And then he arrives at the locker room and says 'Well, I saw you dribbling and I tried to do the same!'
"The friendship that we had was something very beautiful. What I miss from Barcelona and about Barcelona is these two, due to the joy we had on a daily basis."
NAIJ.com earlier reported that Neymar might be joining Real Madrid this summer after hinting that he is no more happy at the Parc Des Princes.
He joined the Parisians from Barcelona in a world recorded transfer fee from Barcelona last summer.
However, he is said to be wanted by Manchester United and their city rivals Manchester City, who are ready to contend with the most successful club in Europe for the signature of the star.
