Overview
- The Brazil forward missed the squad trip to Cleveland and did not play in the friendly versus Egypt as he continued an intensified rehabilitation program.
- He completed sessions on an antigravity treadmill that reduces impact on the injured right calf by adjusting weight load inside an inflatable waist chamber.
- Neymar is scheduled to have a new MRI on Monday, June 8, and medical clearance from that scan will decide if he starts controlled on-field work this week.
- If cleared, medical staff plan a step-by-step return that begins with low-intensity field drills, then progresses to ball work and full training with the squad.
- Personal-signaling continued alongside treatment as longtime stylist Wagner Tenório posted a new mohawk look and messaging that framed Neymar as prepared for the World Cup.
