CBF stick with Neymar, who'll have TIME to recover
The CBF decided to keep Neymar in the World Cup squad after the diagnosis of a grade-two injury to his right calf.
Information revealed by ge.
But he will have 15 days to prove he has recovered and is in good physical condition before any discussion of a possible withdrawal.
Brazil will make its World Cup debut on June 13 against Morocco.
And a possible change to the list of 26 called-up players could happen up to 24 hours before that match.
At the moment, the expectation is still to have the star available during the World Cup group stage.
The most realistic scenario, in the view of the CBF medical department, would be to have Neymar available for the match against Haiti on the 19th.
Brazil’s third Group C match will come five days later, against Scotland.
Neymar suffered the grade-two injury to his right calf on the 17th, when Santos faced Coritiba in the Brasileirão.
He is out of the friendlies against Panama and Egypt, which will be played on the 31st and the 6th.
Champions League finalists Marquinhos (PSG) and the duo Gabriel Magalhães and Gabriel Martinelli (both from Arsenal) also will not face the Concacaf national team.
Santos issues statement
The need for further tests and the confirmation that Neymar does, in fact, have an injury led Santos to release an official statement.
The club guaranteed that all tests carried out up to the date of the call-up were shared with the CBF.
At first, the information released by Peixe indicated that Neymar had suffered only swelling in the area.

“Regarding the clinical situation of player Neymar Jr., Santos FC’s Medical Department clarifies that:
Absolutely all tests carried out on Neymar Jr. were shared with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) up to the 18th, the date of the call-up.
