Neymar Returns to Action for Limited Training with Brazil at the World Cup
- On Tuesday, Brazil forward Neymar trained on the pitch in New Jersey for the first time since arriving in the United States, though a return against Haiti on Friday remains unlikely.
- Neymar has spent around 700 days sidelined due to various injuries since 2023, with his latest setback a right calf injury sustained during a Brazilian club Santos match last month.
- The Brazil Football Confederation said Neymar "took another step in his recovery process" by performing running drills with Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff at the training base in Morristown, New Jersey.
- Coaching staff remain cautious about rushing his return, with medical teams targeting full fitness for the World Cup knockout stages rather than immediate availability for upcoming group matches.
- Brazil faces Haiti in Philadelphia on Friday before concluding Group C against Scotland in Miami on June 24, seeking momentum after their opening 1-1 draw with Morocco.
