The forward has been sidelined since suffering a Grade 2 calf strain and has missed Brazil’s recent warm-up matches while continuing rehabilitation. Despite concerns over his fitness, Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti remains hopeful that Neymar will be able to return to training in the coming days.

The MRI results are expected to play a major role in determining whether Neymar will be available for Brazil’s opening World Cup fixture. With fans eagerly awaiting an update, the fitness of Brazil’s all-time leading scorer has become one of the tournament’s biggest storylines.

For now, Brazil can only wait and hope that one of football’s biggest stars will be ready for the world’s biggest stage.
