The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed on Monday that Neymar continues to make good progress in his recovery from a calf injury, although his involvement in Brazil’s opening World Cup fixture remains far from certain.
Neymar picked up a calf injury on May 17. Fears of a serious issue keeping him out of the entire World Cup this summer were quickly dismissed after tests 10 days later which predicted the 34-year-old would need another two-to-three weeks on the sidelined to recover.
