Ex-Flamengo man lifts lid on Neymar’s Brazil comeback before World Cup | OneFootball

Will Neymar be available for Brazil’s first game at the World Cup?

Neymar is one of the stars of the Brazilian National Team. However, the Santos player is still recovering from a calf injury. With that in mind, Felipe Melo, former Flamengo player, shared behind-the-scenes details on how treatment for Brazil’s number 10 is progressing.

— I’m bringing some information here from people who are with Neymar every day: he is super focused! Neymar has never been seen as focused on making a strong comeback as he is now. There is zero doubt that he will return in good physical shape — he said on SporTV.

When will Neymar play again?

The expectation is that Neymar will be able to train on the field starting this week. However, the player will not be physically fit enough to be available for coach Carlo Ancelotti against Morocco on Saturday (13).

For this reason, there is a chance that Lucas Paquetá will start for the Brazilian National Team. In the last friendly before the World Cup debut, against Egypt, the Flamengo number 20 was in the starting XI and pleased Carlo Ancelotti.

When is the Brazil vs. Morocco match?

Without Neymar and possibly with Paquetá, Brazil will face Morocco this Saturday (13) in the United States, in the first round of the World Cup group stage. The match will therefore kick off at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), with live coverage on Rede Globo on free-to-air TV, SporTV on cable TV, and CazéTV on YouTube.
