MORRISTOWN, United States (AFP) — Neymar is “recovering well” from the calf injury that has made him a doubt for the start of Brazil’s World Cup campaign, the team said in a statement on Monday.
Brazil’s all-time record scorer underwent an MRI scan on Monday which showed he is “making good progress in his treatment” amid hopes that he will be able to play a part for Carlo Ancelotti’s side in the United States.
“He will continue to follow the recovery schedule and fitness programme as planned by the Brazil team medical staff,” the Brazilian Football Confederation said.
