MORRISTOWN, United States (AFP) — Brazil forward Neymar, who was diagnosed with a right calf injury in late May, trained at the World Cup for the first time Tuesday in a sign he may be nearing a return.
The 34-year-old has been undergoing treatment since the squad’s arrival in the United States (US), but took another step in his recovery process as he was out running at Brazil’s training base in New Jersey.
Brazil’s all-time record scorer has yet to return to full training after missing the team’s opening 1-1 draw against Morocco on Saturday.
