📹 Neymar trains with Brazil in the USA for the first time; watch
Neymar returns to training with the Brazilian national team for the first time since the start of the 2026 World Cup, focusing on recovering from a calf injury as the team prepares for the next game against Haiti.
The Brazilian team had great news in training this Tuesday (16) in New Jersey. For the first time since the group performed for the 2026 World Cup, number 10 Neymar stepped onto the field to perform physical activities. Still in a transition carefully managed by the medical department, the star trained in tennis — not football boots — doing light exercises and without any contact with the ball or his teammates. Although the image of the idol on the pitch brings hope to fans, the coaching staff led by Carlo Ancelotti is being extremely cautious. Neymar's participation in the match against Haiti, this Friday, in the second round of the group stage, is considered unlikely — the CBF, in fact, has not released any timetable for the attacker's return to the pitch. The injury to his right calf, suffered while the player played for Santos against Coritiba, will complete exactly one month this Wednesday. Last Monday, he underwent new imaging tests to assess the recovery of his leg. CBF's strategy is to focus on the athlete's cardiovascular conditioning so that he does not lose muscle mass, avoiding rushing the process so that he is 100% at decisive moments. The training session was completely closed to the press, but there was a lighter atmosphere behind the scenes, with players' families visiting the delegation for lunch. Brazil is in second place in Group C (tied with one point with Morocco) and faces Haiti on Friday, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), in Philadelphia.
