The equipment has been used by athletes for more than a decade, and some Brazilian clubs have already acquired it.

Neymar will undergo a new imaging exam this Monday (8) to assess how much progress he has made in recovering from the injury.

Still according to ge, if he is cleared to return to activities, he will begin physical transition work. 

 Ball exercises would only be allowed later on, if the player continues to show improvement.

Brazil will make its World Cup debut next Saturday (13), facing Morocco.
