Neymar case: journalist hits out at CBF after ex-Flamengo Wesley injury | OneFootball

Wesley was cut from the Brazilian National Team due to injury, while Neymar remains with the squad in the United States

Neymar's injury is still being closely watched by Brazilians, who still do not know when the No. 10 will play for the Brazilian National Team in the Copa do Brasil. For this reason, journalist Sérgio Xavier Filho blasted the CBF, especially after Wesley was cut.

— Just so this doesn’t go unnoticed: this Neymar story is really bad, isn’t it? Where’s the transparency? Why don’t they show the medical report? Why don’t they release it? A grade 2 became a grade 1. Why aren’t they honest? This is dishonest — he said, before concluding:

— I also think it’s dishonest to Wesley, who is leaving. Why is one player being treated differently? Is it because it’s Neymar? Then say that, be clearer. This lack of transparency is not good management material — said Sérgio Xavier Filho on SporTV.

What is Neymar’s situation?

At the moment, Neymar is recovering from an injury to his right calf. The CBF reported that the striker’s timeline to return to the pitch is two weeks. Therefore, the player was not cut from the Brazilian National Team squad for the World Cup.

And what about Wesley’s injury?

The former Flamengo right-back underwent tests this Sunday (07), which confirmed a grade 3 injury to his left thigh. Therefore, Wesley will need more than 40 days of recovery.

When is Brazil’s World Cup debut?

Without Wesley and without Neymar, Brazil face Morocco this Saturday (13) in the United States, in the first round of the World Cup group stage. The match, therefore, will be played from 7 p.m. (Brasília time).
