Neymar participated in team training with Brazil for the first time since arriving in New Jersey, signaling positive progress in his recovery from a right calf injury. The forward warmed up separately before joining drills with the squad, offering fans encouragement ahead of Friday’s match against Haiti. This marks a gradual return for the 34-year-old, following an initial on-field session Tuesday focused on physical work and ball contact. The Brazilian Football Association has confirmed Neymar is progressing as planned. While the extent of his playing time remains uncertain, his presence in training boosts team morale. Brazil is preparing for their Group C opener in Philadelphia, with Neymar’s fitness being a key factor in their World Cup campaign.
