Neymar and Flamengo player spot ‘problems’ in Brazil’s first training | OneFootball

Brazil National Team began preparations for the World Cup this Wednesday (27)

The Brazil National Team began preparations for the World Cup this Wednesday (27). In the team’s first training session, however, Carlo Ancelotti could not count on two players who were at Granja Comary: Neymar and Danilo, from Flamengo.

In Danilo’s case, however, there is nothing to worry about. Since the defender played the full 90 minutes in Flamengo’s win over Cusco (PER) on Tuesday (26), the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) coaching staff chose to keep the experienced player on recovery work.

SO, IS NEYMAR A CONCERN FOR THE WORLD CUP?

If Danilo is not a concern, the same cannot be said about forward Neymar. The Santos player is recovering from swelling in his right calf and was sent to a clinic in Teresópolis-RJ for imaging tests during the training session.

“CBF informs that player Neymar Jr did not take part in the Brazil National Team’s training session this Wednesday. The player was sent to a clinic in the city to undergo additional tests. No further information will be released until the evaluations by the Brazil National Team medical staff are completed,” CBF said in a statement.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER EX-FLAMENGO PLAYERS, AFTER ALL?

Three other players called up from Flamengo to the Brazil National Team — Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro and Lucas Paquetá — were not an issue for Brazil’s training session. The two defenders did not come off the bench against Cusco. The midfielder came on in the 25th minute of the second half. Since there was no heavy physical toll, the trio trained at Granja Comary.

THAT SAID, WHO ELSE DID NOT TAKE PART IN TRAINING?

Besides Neymar and Danilo, Ancelotti was also without three other players, though not because of fitness issues. Marquinhos, from PSG (FRA), and Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhães, from Arsenal (ENG), are with their respective clubs for the Champions League final. The match will take place next Saturday (30), in Hungary.
