Brazil star Neymar dons snood and hat as Samba Boys swap Copacabana for Milton Keynes as they train for Cameroon friendly

Despite playing in Paris and Barcelona, the Brazilian struggled with the cold in England this evening

NEYMAR moaned about having to protect himself from players during the World Cup, but he’s now having to protect himself from the British weather too.

The Brazilian ace didn’t leave much of his face exposed this evening, as he donned a snood and winter hat to keep the chill off his face.

The Samba boys have swapped the Brazilian beaches for Milton Keynes as they take part in a training session ahead of their Cameroon friendly.

MK Dons’ ground hosted the star-studded team this evening, but despite playing in Paris and Barcelona Neymar isn’t accustomed to the weather.

The superstar wore gloves, a snood and hat by sponsors Nike and covered most of his body against the  3°C  temperatures.

Brazil beat Uruguay at the Emirates on Friday, but have moved north of London for their next international clash.

Firmino seemed to fare better in the cold weather- his time with Liverpool has helped him both on and off the pitch!

Neymar’s compatriots didn’t seem to feel the cold quite as much, with Roberto Firmino only donning a hat, while Richarlison wore a snood around his neck.

The pricey player soon warmed up and pulled the snood down to flash a big smile as he shared a joke with Filipe Luis.

The team who are ranked third in Fifa’s world ratings made the most of the facilities at the League Two club and could be seen working on set plays ahead of their meeting with Cameroon tomorrow.

Brazil face the African side tomorrow hoping to get their sixth consecutive win- their last defeat was to Belgium in the World Cup Quarter Finals.

Neymar’s attempts at acclimatising may be all part of his recovery, after his man-of-the-match performance against Uruguay.

The PSG forward received several clatterings during the dramatic fixture, but he got the last word by putting his name on the score sheet.
