National team doctor confirms Neymar injury, detailsThe medical department of the Brazilian National Team has officially confirmed the seriousness of Neymar’s physical problem.
In a statement made shortly before midfielder Casemiro’s press conference this Thursday (28), doctor Rodrigo Lasmar updated the situation of the No. 10, who got injured on the 17th in a Santos match.
After missing Wednesday’s training session (28) to undergo imaging tests in Teresópolis, the MRI ruled out the initial hypothesis of a simpler issue.
"He arrived here at Granja yesterday, underwent all the medical exams (...) and we finished with an MRI that identified a grade 2 muscle injury in the calf, not just swelling," explained Rodrigo Lasmar.
As a result, Neymar will miss the national team’s two warm-up friendlies against Panama on Sunday (31) and against Egypt on the 6th.
The World Cup opener will be against Morocco on June 13, in 16 days.
With the confirmation of a partial tear of the muscle fibers (typical of grade 2), the forward will need a longer rehabilitation period.
The medical staff estimated a layoff of two to three weeks from on-field activities.
