Brazil's Neymar trained in uniform with his teammates Wednesday in Morristown, New Jersey, marking his first squad session since sustaining a right calf injury one month earlier.
The forward had been absent from team activities throughout the tournament's opening group-stage matches while recovering from the calf injury.
Neymar's availability is significant for Brazil's attacking plans, as his return to fitness adds depth to the forward line heading into the final stages of the group phase.
Neymar's return to squad training could affect betting markets tied to Brazil's squad rotation and upcoming match selection, with his participation status influencing odds on individual fixtures and team performance metrics.
