Sources interviewed by the report state that “there is no chance of Neymar being cut from the Seleção”. The star has a grade two injury to his right calf and is expected to be out for up to three weeks according to the team’s doctor, Rodrigo Lasmar.
Internally, the CBF understands that, for now, there is nothing that can be done other than waiting for the player’s treatment to evolve. The next 15 days will be fundamental for .
“The cut is unlikely, not impossible. Now is the time to take care of his health”, adds a person close to the athlete.
The idea is to prevent the topic from hijacking the period between training at Granja Comary until June 13th, in the USA.
until June 1st, the same day as the delegation’s trip to the USA. After this date, it would be necessary to produce a medical report and have the cut approved by FIFA up to 24 hours before the first game. Thus, Ancelotti could call up a substitute present on the pre-list sent to football’s highest entity.
Santos x CBF
The CBF will also treat the recent episode with Santos as “water under the bridge”. Initially, Peixe had said that the athlete had suffered edema in the game against Coritiba, in the Brasileirão. The deadline for recovery would be ten days and Neymar could even play in the remaining matches of the South American and Brazilian Championships after recovery and before the presentation in Teresópolis.
However, the reality was different. When carrying out tests with the national team, the injury was confirmed. Santos said that they had shared all the information about the athlete in recent days and explained, in a note, that Neymar would be ready to assist against Panama on Sunday (31). Peixe also recalled that there are members of the medical team who also work with the CBF.
For now, Neymar is out
The number 10 will not play in the friendlies against Panama and Egypt, he will probably be absent in the opening match against Morocco and there is also a doubt as to whether Neymar would be able to take the field against Haiti, on June 19th.
