Alert in the National Team: Neymar suffers calf injury and becomes a doubt for the World Cup
Comadre, pull out the chair because my fan's heart almost stopped with this news! The sixth is just around the corner knocking on the door, the 2026 World Cup is coming and guess who has already become a reason for national prayer? Our number 10, Neymar!
Comadre, what a cold water bath in our fans! In full preparation for the World Cup, Neymar, who is now 34 years old, couldn't even step on the field in the first training session with the Seleção ball at Granja Comary. The star was spotted leaving a clinic dejected after calf exams, and the atmosphere is one of pure concern behind the scenes.
The ruffle is as follows, comadre: Neymar has already come from Santos "shot". He had an injury in the game against Coritiba in mid-May and the medical department of Peixe found a two-millimeter edema in the calf. But the thing seems to be more boring than it seemed. Yesterday, Wednesday, while the boys went to the pitch to make the first adjustments with the ball, Ney had to go to a clinic in Teresópolis to do complementary exams.
Those who saw the star leaving the clinic said that he had that face of few friends and even showing some difficulty walking. The doctor of the National Team, Rodrigo Lasmar, had that serious conversation with him in his ear to explain the seriousness of the situation. Today he undergoes a new battery of tests for the coaching staff to decide if he can take the stride or if the cut will be inevitable. What a sin, right?
The CBF released a very protocol note saying that it will not give updates until all the results come out. But the buzz behind the scenes is that he is already out of the last two test friendlies: against Panama, this Sunday (31) at Maracanã, and against Egypt, there in the United States.
And look, the Seleção is not even complete yet, bedpan! Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Martinelli will only arrive after Saturday, because they will play in the Champions League final between PSG and Arsenal. Meanwhile, the rest of the squad remains focused, already knowing that the World Cup debut is on June 13 against Morocco, there in New Jersey.
Now, comadre, the whole of Brazil has its heart in its hand. World Cup without our main star 100% is to make anyone tense.
And you, do you think Neymar recovers in time to shine in the United States or does the Seleção have to start thinking about a plan B without him?
