TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Brazil's attacking midfielder Neymar has returned to training with his teammates as he continues his recovery from a calf injury ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
As reported by ANTARA, the 34-year-old footballer participated in warm-up activities and physical exercises before finally training separately from the main group at the Brazilian national team training camp in New Jersey.
Neymar has been sidelined since May 2025 after suffering a grade two calf muscle injury in his right leg while playing for Santos.
Despite showing positive progress, the Santos striker is not expected to be included in Brazil's squad for the match against Haiti in Group C of the 2026 World Cup in Philadelphia on Friday, June 19, local time.
Neymar, Brazil's all-time leading scorer with 79 goals in 128 international appearances, has not featured for his country since suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in October 2023.
Brazil kicked off their 2026 World Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against Morocco on Saturday, June 13.
