Brazil are once again plagued by concerns over Neymar's fitness. The Brazilian forward, included by Carlo Ancelotti in the preliminary list for this summer's World Cup, has been held back once again by muscle problems.
The Santos star suffered the injury during training with the Brazilian club and was forced to miss the Copa America clash against San Lorenzo. The situation immediately raised alarm in the Brazilian camp, rekindling doubts about his fitness for the big tournament.
Santos' medical coordinator, Rodrigo Zogaib, confirmed that Neymar is suffering from a slight swelling in his calf. According to the medical staff, it is a non-serious problem, which is expected to recover within 10 days.
Despite initial concerns, there is no lack of optimism in the Selecao camp. Neymar is expected to join the group next week and continue his preparations with the Brazilian national team as normal.
However, the biggest challenge for the 32-year-old is not just related to physical recovery. Carlo Ancelotti has imposed a strict disciplinary regime on the squad, where no one will have privileges, regardless of status or history in the national team.
According to reports from Brazil, Neymar will have to meet four key conditions during the World Cup. The forward will not wear the captain's armband, despite his experience and 128 appearances for the national team. He will also have to earn his place in the starting lineup through performance, not name.
Ancelotti has also decided that Neymar will have the same treatment and the same schedules as the rest of the squad, while there will also be restrictions on the use of social media and personal media activities during the tournament.
