Brazil hero Neymar arrived at their World Cup training base in his own private £10million helicopter... but faces a race to be fit for the tournament.

Scotland face the South Americans in Miami next month, and manager Carlo Ancelotti recalled their 34-year-old talisman, who is their all-time top scorer.

He reportedly forked out £10million to buy the customised Airbus ACH145, which has 'NJR' on it along with an image of Batman. Neymar also owns several other private jets.

But he's set to miss Brazil's send-off friendly against Panama on Sunday at the Maracana because of his thigh injury.

Neymar insisted last week he would make the tournament. He said: "There will be no problems for me. I will be fit to play at the World Cup.

"What problem? It’s fine. There’s no issue."
