The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) reported on Monday that Neymar is showing a 'good evolution' in his recovery from a right calf injury. However, the CBF did not confirm whether the star forward will be fit for Brazil's opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Saturday.
Neymar sustained the injury during a training session last week. Medical staff are monitoring his progress daily, but no official decision has been made regarding his participation in the tournament's first game.
Brazil is set to face Morocco in their Group A opener. The team's coaching staff has prepared alternative strategies in case Neymar is unable to play.
