After injury, Neymar trains normally and is available for the Brazilian team against Scotland in the FIFA World Cup
Renowned striker Neymar completed his second day of training without restrictions, guaranteeing his inclusion in the call-up of the Brazilian national team’s technical committee. He will be available for the game against Scotland, scheduled for this Wednesday, in Miami, in the third round of the World Cup group stage.
The expectation is that the player will start the match on the bench, although coach Carlo Ancelotti intends to use him for a few minutes during the match. The athlete had been sidelined for more than a month, due to an injury to his right calf, and had not worn the Brazilian team’s shirt since 2023, marking a long period of absence and the importance of his return for Brazil’s campaign.
Since May 27, the date on which Neymar reported to the national team with the injury, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has mobilized its entire infrastructure, strictly adhering to the protocols established to ensure his full recovery. The player demonstrated full dedication, completing each step of the process until he reached 100% of his physical condition to return to the field this week.
The main focus after treating the injury was intensely focused on muscle strengthening. The CBF’s concern was to avoid any loss of power, physical strength or risk of atrophy that could compromise Neymar’s ability to play matches at a high level.
Therefore, at the conclusion of the recovery phase, the work was focused on muscular balance, physical conditioning and progressive readaptation to collective training, where Neymar is already part of game simulations. Therefore, the multidisciplinary team, made up of doctors, physical trainers, physiologists and physiotherapists, validated the number 10’s ability to take the field.
