Toni Kroos on Neymar Brazil World Cup fitness

There's a big 'if' hanging over Brazil's World Cup hopes, and Toni Kroos just put it into words. He sees Neymar as the undisputed face of Brazilian football, the guy who can lift the whole team. But Kroos is careful to add the catch: Brazil's odds only climb when Neymar actually performs, and that's been the nagging question for a while now. When is he ever truly at his peak? The injury list keeps piling up, making it tough to say when he'll be back to full strength. Right now, he's sidelined again, needing surgery, with no clear return date. He's also short on match rhythm after missing so many games. With the Cup roughly six months away, it's hard to bank on him being a game-changer if his body isn't cooperating. Kroos wraps it up bluntly: if Neymar isn't in top shape, Brazil's path gets really rocky.
