Brazil strikers Fred and Neymar jokingly took a leaf out of Luis Suarez's book by pretending to bite teammate Marcelo and Dani Alves in training.

The pair engaged in some light-hearted tomfoolery a day after Uruguay forward Suarez caused a storm by appearing to bite Italy's Giorgio Chiellini in the shoulder.

The Brazilians allowed themselves to see the funny aside as they prepared for Saturday's second-round match against Chile.

"I saw what happened -- everyone saw it," said Brazilian midfielder Willian.

"But it's not for me or the team to pass judgment. We have to stay concentrated on the job in hand and not get distracted by peripheral stuff."
