Neymar included in Brazil's World Cup squad despite injury

Carlo Ancelotti has included 34-year-old Neymar in Brazil's national team roster for the upcoming World Cup. The decision followed public demonstrations in Rio de Janeiro demanding his inclusion. Currently, the Santos player is suffering from a calf edema which requires him to miss several days of training. On Wednesday, May 27, Neymar arrived at the Granja Comary training center to undergo a medical evaluation. He chose to travel to the facility via his private helicopter. The arrival generated significant social media attention. Medical staff are expected to assess his recovery timeline to ensure he is fit for tournament play.
