Neymar sat out Brazil's training session, a day after he limped off the field with knee pains as the team began its Copa America preparations. Brazil's soccer confederation said in a statement that the striker would undergo physiotherapy and gym sessions instead of practicing with the rest of the team at the Granja Comary training ground outside Rio de Janeiro.

The 27-year-old exited Tuesday's first full training after feeling pain in his left knee. He is still expected to play a friendly against Qatar on June 5 in Brasilia. The Copa America starts on June 14, with Brazil playing Bolivia on the opening day.
