Neymar Returns to Brazil Camp After Injury Layoff

Neymar, Brazil's star attacking midfielder, has rejoined his teammates in training as he continues his recovery from a calf injury. The 34-year-old participated in warm-up activities and physical exercises at the Brazilian national team's training camp in New Jersey. However, he trained separately from the main group as he works his way back to full fitness.

Neymar has been sidelined since May 2025 after suffering a grade two calf muscle injury in his right leg. Despite showing positive progress, he is not expected to be included in Brazil's squad for their upcoming 2026 World Cup match against Haiti. This comes after he has already missed significant time, having not featured for his country since tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in October 2023.

Brazil, who kicked off their 2026 World Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against Morocco, will face Haiti on Friday, June 19. Neymar remains Brazil's all-time leading scorer with 79 goals in 128 international appearances, making his absence a notable one for the team.
