Neymar held his first training session since Brazil's arrival in the United States. The forward trained individually, wearing trainers instead of football boots. He did not participate in any ball work or physical contact drills with his teammates.
This marked the first step in Neymar's transition back to the pitch. He still needs to significantly improve his physical condition before being available for Carlo Ancelotti. The Seleção began their World Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against Morocco. Their next match is on June 20 against Haiti.
Yesterday, the star underwent a medical examination, after which the Brazilian staff announced: "Neymar had a medical check-up today. These were routine follow-up tests to monitor his recovery from the injury. Everything is progressing as expected. Neymar will not be on the pitch today. He is expected to train with the group throughout the week."
