Earlier, there were hopes that Neymar could return to training with the rest of the team on Monday. However, the Santos player did not appear on the training pitch with his teammates and was instead taken to a clinic for further examination of his injured right calf. The Brazilian Football Confederation has not yet announced the results of these tests.

In Brazil, there has also been much debate about whether Neymar – who made his first World Cup appearance on home soil in 2014 – should be called up by new coach Carlo Ancelotti for the tournament. Some fans believe that the veteran star's class and experience can still benefit the Selecao. However, many others argue that Neymar is past his prime and giving him a chance would mean depriving a younger player of a World Cup opportunity.
