Neymar's Injury Could Be More Serious Than Expected
Concerns are growing over Neymar's injury, with the Brazilian star potentially facing a longer recovery period than initially thought.
Neymar's injury could be more serious than expected. The Santos forward's injury is causing concern.
Initially, the 34-year-old player, who was included in Brazil's World Cup squad, was reported to have suffered a thigh injury and was expected to be out for 5-10 days.
However, according to ESPN, the Brazilian Football Confederation is considering the possibility that the recovery process may take longer. The organization wants to assess Neymar's physical condition when the team gathers on May 27.
Santos, on the other hand, is still insisting that the player's injury is not serious. The club has not ruled out the possibility of Neymar playing in the South American Cup match against Deportivo Cuenca on May 26.
Meanwhile, sources familiar with the situation have informed the team's representatives that the recovery process is more complicated than initially thought.
At the moment, the likelihood of Neymar participating in friendly matches against Panama and Egypt on June 1 and 6, respectively, is considered very low.
