VIDEO: Neymar rolls ankle in training, reportedly able to finish session without issue
Take a deep breath, everyone.
It doesn't appear that we are going to be robbed of the main attraction of the 2014 World Cup just days before the tournament begins.
(Given the slew of injuries that has already destroyed the chance for many big-name stars to compete in Brazil, it's the least we deserve).
This photo was making the rounds on Twitter this afternoon, causing the footballing world to lose its collective mind and curse whatever deity they worship - and possibly even the ones they don't.

Thankfully, it seems we all got a little carried away.

A nation held its breath as Neymar went down in Brazil training... but he was up and running normally a few minutes later. #VaiTerNeymar

This video seems to confirm those claims:
In through the nose, out through the mouth, people.
