Neymar's World Cup Hopes in Jeopardy After Calf Injury

Brazil's all-time leading scorer, Neymar, faces a fresh setback as a calf injury requires scans, casting doubt on his return for the 2026 World Cup. The 32-year-old has not played since 2023 due to a series of injuries, and this latest problem threatens to derail his comeback.

Neymar's absence from the pitch has been a major concern for Brazil, and this new injury adds to the uncertainty surrounding his future.

The scans will determine the severity of the damage and the recovery timeline. Brazil's medical staff are closely monitoring the situation, but there is growing worry that Neymar may miss the World Cup if the injury proves serious.
