With only a few weeks left until the start of the World Cup in North America, the Brazil national team is facing a serious problem regarding Neymar. The risk of the Santos star missing the team's final preparation matches due to a calf injury is increasing. This is reported by Goal.com .
The Brazil national team's medical staff will conduct a thorough examination of the forward's condition on the first day of the training camp at the Granja Comary headquarters on May 27. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti has implemented a principle of equality for everyone in the group, which means Neymar must undergo the same strict medical protocols as any other injured player.
Currently, there are conflicting opinions between the Santos club and the national team regarding the severity of the injury. While club doctors are calling it a "mild swelling," the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has received information that the injury is more serious than expected. According to ESPN sources, the situation is not as simple as Santos claims and will require a longer recovery process.
Given the current situation, it is unlikely that Neymar will play in the friendly matches against Panama (May 31) and Egypt (June 5). The main task for Carlo Ancelotti and his technical staff is to get the player fully ready for the World Cup opener against Morocco on June 13.
