Neymar returns to training with Brazil squad

Neymar, absent from full team training due to a calf injury sustained more than a month ago, trained in uniform and briefly rejoined his Brazil teammates for the first time during this World Cup on Wednesday, June 17.

The 32-year-old midfielder's appearance signals meaningful progress in his recovery ahead of Brazil's remaining group stage matches.

Neymar's gradual return to training could strengthen Brazil's attacking depth and may shift tournament odds slightly in the squad's favour, depending on his availability timeline for upcoming fixtures.
