The Brazil flyer has said that he only stopped training as a precaution after taking a blow to the ankle.
In front of the media, Bernard said: “It"s not twisted or anything.
“I only left [the pitch] in anticipation of something worse and the ankle is swollen now.
“Preparing for the World Cup is like that. Football is a contact sport. Everyone wants to get their spot [in the starting line-up]."
