Brazilian forward Neymar Jr. has sustained a minor calf injury just days after being named in Brazil’s 2026 World Cup squad. According to Santos club doctor Rodrigo Zogaib, Neymar has swelling in his right leg and will need to rest and remain under observation for several days. The injury, though not serious, has kept him out of regular training and the recent Copa Libertadores match against San Lorenzo, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Santos is prioritizing Neymar’s full recovery before he joins the national team camp, which begins on May 27 at Granja Comary. The club aims to ensure he regains full fitness before leaving for international duty. Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti reportedly reviewed Neymar’s medical reports and spoke directly with the player before confirming his inclusion in the 26-man squad.
While there is no major alarm in the Brazil camp, Neymar faces a race against time to be fully fit before Brazil’s World Cup opener against Morocco on June 13.
