⚠️ CBF confirm Neymar needed further tests | OneFootball

Brazil’s national team held its first training session this Wednesday (27) at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis, with a focus on the World Cup.

But without Neymar and Danilo.

The Flamengo defender started last Tuesday (26) and stayed inside the training center, doing recovery work.

Meanwhile, the Santos midfielder — who is recovering from swelling in his right calf — underwent physical evaluations, like the other called-up players.

He also underwent further tests on site. 

The CBF wants more details about Neymar’s real condition.

“The Brazilian Football Confederation informs that player Neymar Jr. did not take part in the Brazil national team training session held on Wednesday afternoon in Teresópolis.

The player was taken to a clinic in the city for additional tests.

No further information will be released until the evaluations by the Brazil national team’s medical staff are completed,” the entity’s statement says. 

Carlo Ancelotti will have three more training sessions at Granja before Sunday’s (31) friendly against Panama at the Maracanã.

In addition to Neymar’s likely absence, he also will not have the Champions League finalist trio of Marquinhos (PSG), Gabriel Magalhães, and Gabriel Martinelli (both Arsenal players).
