The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed, through its press office, that striker Neymar was subjected, this Monday (15), to another control exam. The procedure is part of the recovery process for the number 10, who is treating a grade two injury in his right calf that has made him unable to go to the field – even for training – since being called up for the World Cup, in the United States, Mexico and Canada. The 34-year-old athlete was again left out of field work for the Brazilian team at Columbia Park, the New York Red Bulls training center, in Morristown. The striker's presence in the game on Friday (19), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), against Haiti, in Philadelphia, in the second round of Group C, is uncertain and increasingly unlikely, despite the expectation, recognized by coach Carlo Ancelotti last week, of being able to count on the player.

Since presenting himself to the Brazilian team, on May 27th, at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis (RJ), Neymar has only carried out physiotherapy sessions and strengthening and physical preparation activities. When asked about the stage of the striker's recovery, CBF and Ancelotti have only said that he is "evolving well". Still in Teresópolis, Neymar underwent an MRI exam that confirmed the severity of the calf injury. On the 17th, that is, ten days before he performed at Granja Comary, Santos reported that the attacker only had edema, due to a "slight knock" suffered in the 3-0 defeat to Coritiba, at the Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo, for the Brazilian Championship. Subsequently, the São Paulo club announced that Neymar would be "able to return to activities" by May 31st. CBF doctor Rodrigo Lasmar, however, informed that the number 10 would still need recovery time of between two and three weeks. The deadline ends this Wednesday (17). Brazil debuted in the World Cup with a 1-1 draw with Morocco on Saturday (13), in New Jersey. The two teams add one point. On that occasion, Neymar stayed on the bench and supported his teammates during the match. The leader of Group C is Scotland, who, on the same day, beat Haiti 1-0 in Boston. The Europeans have three points, while the Caribbeans remain zero.
