On Monday, June 15, 2026, the Brazil national team resumed training in Morristown, New Jersey, without Neymar, who continues recovering from a right calf injury.
After drawing with Morocco on Saturday, June 13, the team began work for the match against Haiti scheduled for Friday, June 19, in Philadelphia. Neymar, aged 34, underwent new exams at a clinic in the New Jersey area as scheduled by the CBF, but did not train with the group.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti had indicated the forward would be integrated this week, but recovery is being handled cautiously. The two-to-three-week timeline set by doctor Rodrigo Lasmar after the grade 2 injury suffered on May 17 ends on Thursday, June 18.
Besides Neymar, Gabriel Magalhães, Bruno Guimarães and Raphinha also missed training for load management after the World Cup 2026 opener.
