Neymar ruled out 0f Brazil’s Haiti clash as calf injury recovery continues

News Express |19th Jun 2026 | 70

Neymar will miss Brazil’s World Cup match against Haiti as he remains sidelined recovering from a calf injury.

The 34-year-old will remain in New Jersey to complete the final stage of his rehabilitation, with the federation stating that he will continue working at The Ridge hotel and Columbia Park training centre.

Neymar was seen taking part in drills with his teammates on Wednesday after warming up separately with the ball, marking further progress in his recovery. However, Brazil are taking a cautious approach to his return after he sustained a right calf injury during Santos’ 3-0 defeat to Coritiba last month.

The injury is the latest setback in a career increasingly disrupted by fitness problems. Neymar has not played for Brazil in nearly three years. (Arise News)
