Neymar will play in Brazil's friendlies against Costa Rica and the United States despite limping out of training on Thursday, national team coach Dunga said on Friday.
Brazil are preparing for two friendly fixtures, on Saturday against Costa Rica at Red Bull Arena and against the United States next Tuesday in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
The Barcelona forward reportedly grabbed his right knee just 20 minutes into training on Thursday before limping off the pitch in New Jersey. However Dunga assured gathered media on Friday that the Brazil captain will see the field in both matches, but wouldn't reveal whether or not the 23-year-old would start.
"We will use Neymar. He will be used. We brought him to have training, competitiveness, motivation," the 1994 World Cup champ said.
"But when it comes to a competitive player, he wants to play. We'll have a moment we'll use him. How we use him is being weighed."
Neymar missed Barcelona's opening fixtures this season after contracting the mumps, and only made his debut last Saturday in the Blaugrana's 1-0 defeat of Malaga at Camp Nou.
For his part in a scuffle at this summer's Copa America, the former Santos star, who was suspended four matches for the incident, is eligible to play in friendlies but will be suspended for Brazil's first two World Cup qualifiers in October against Chile and Venezuela.
