Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil forward Neymar left hospital on Sunday and made his way to a private jet after undergoing surgery on a broken foot.

There are 100 days to go until the World Cup but it remains to be seen whether the world's most expensive player Neymar will be fit to take part in the tournament in Russia.

The Brazil forward underwent a successful operation on his injured right foot over the weekend after fracturing his metatarsal playing for Paris Saint-Germain against Marseille on February 25.

Following his surgery, Neymar boarded a plane in Belo Horizonte.

His rehabilitation will be overseen by Brazil and PSG physiotherapist Rafael Martini, who has been working with the player since he started his career at Santos.

Neymar is expected to be out for around three months, with Brazil's first game of the World Cup against Switzerland on June 17.
