Neymar's World Cup hopes have been boosted after a positive result from his MRI scan.
Having been named in Brazil's squad for the first time under Carlo Ancelotti for the World Cup, Neymar suffered another injury setback – a calf issue which sidelined him for two to three weeks.
Brazil's all-time top-scorer, who was optimistic about his chances of being fit to play, underwent an MRI scan on Monday to check his progress from the injury.
And it appears he could be in line to make an appearance at a fourth World Cup, with his results showing he is on track in his return to fitness.
"The exam showed good progress in his treatment, within expected parameters," the CBF said in a statement.
"He will continue the recovery and physical preparation process planned by the Brazilian National Team's medical staff."
Neymar has not played for Brazil since October 2023, when he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury against Uruguay.
He missed both of the Selecao's pre-tournament friendlies – wins over Panama and Egypt – but still faces a race to be fit for Brazil's opener against Morocco on June 13.
They will also face Haiti and Scotland in Group C.

he shouldn't have been selected. he hadn't been fit on yrs. they ignore joao Pedro and pick a guy who more hype than substance. he adds no value to Brazil and they will have a disappointing run becoz vini is a very poor finisher

This is a failed campaign for the Italian. How can you take injury prone player to the world cup when there are betters that could have been included in his place?

Why can’t u just replace him with Joao Pedro
Joao Pedro can never lace Neymar’s boot in his entire life

you can do so in your PS game... Neymer is not going anywhere even with his injury, he will be in the traveling squad
What's your problem in this? Are you his agent, or what? Better advice him to leave the space for younger players.if you are a fan, don't be stupid, because you gave a stupidity instead of replying

Looks like the powers that be pressured Ancelotti to pick Neymar irrespective of his fitness issues. This is really unfair considering the quality of Joao Pedro presently
