Brazil are preparing for the possibility of being without Neymar for the entire FIFA World Cup group stage as the team’s medical staff focus on ensuring the veteran forward is fully fit for the latter stages of the tournament.
According to an ESPN report cited by Goal. com, Brazil’s management is keen to avoid any setbacks that could bring Neymar’s World Cup campaign to an early end. The striker was absent from Brazil’s opening match against Morocco, which finished in a 1-1 draw, and the immediate priority is to have him ready for a potential return in the knockout rounds.
