Neymar's Recovery Progress Ahead of 2026 World Cup

The Brazilian Football Confederation released a statement regarding Neymar's recovery from a calf injury ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The 34-year-old forward is reported to be making good progress, with expectations that he will be sidelined for two to three weeks.

A scan conducted last month revealed a grade two muscle tear. Further examinations on Monday indicated that his treatment is progressing within expected parameters.

Neymar has already missed Brazil's two warm-up friendlies against Panama and Egypt. The Brazilian national team's medical staff is overseeing his recovery and physical preparation process as they aim to have him fit for the upcoming tournament.
