The Brazilian national team began its campaign in the tournament at dawn last Sunday, with a 1-1 draw against Morocco.
The Brazilian newspaper O Globo reported that the Brazilian Football Confederation has no longer set a specific date for Neymar’s return during the group stage, noting that his participation against Haiti, at dawn next Friday, has become unlikely.
According to the newspaper, this decision aims to relieve the great pressure on the player and the team, provided that his participation for a few minutes against Scotland on June 24 is only possible if he shows clear improvement in the coming days.
She indicated that the Brazilian national team’s medical staff is adopting a cautious approach, which stipulates that Neymar not be included except when absolutely necessary, with his role likely to be limited to the knockout rounds if coach Carlo Ancelotti’s team qualifies.
