The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) released an official note this Monday (8) regarding the recovery of striker Neymar, who presented himself with an injury to his right calf. According to the text, the number 10 of the Brazilian national team underwent an MRI which showed "good progress, within the expected parameters". There is, however, no prediction about the player's return to the pitch. The note limits itself to saying that Neymar "will follow the recovery and physical preparation process planned by the Brazilian National Team's medical committee." Brazil's debut in the World Cup will take place next Saturday (13), at 7pm (Brasília time), against the Morocco team, in New Jersey, where the team led by Carlo Ancelotti has been preparing. Last Saturday, the group traveled to Cleveland, where they defeated Egypt 2-1 in a friendly. Neymar, however, did not follow the rest of the delegation, maintaining the recovery program.  Related news: Brazil beats Egypt in last match before the World Cup.

At the time of the selection for the World Cup, on May 18, the information given by Santos, Neymar's club, was that the athlete had edema in his calf. However, when reporting for training at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis, nine days later, the player underwent additional tests that revealed a grade two injury in the region. The following day, the team's doctor, Rodrigo Lasmar, stated that Neymar would need another two to three weeks to recover. According to this schedule, the earliest possible date for the player's return would be next Thursday, the 11th.  FIFA allows changes to the squad list up to 24 hours before the team's debut. However, at a press conference, also in Teresópolis, on the 30th, Ancelotti confirmed that Neymar will not be cut.
