Neymar trains with Brazil squad in the United States during World Cup 2026

Brazilian forward Neymar took part in his first on‑field training session with the national team in the United States, marking his first ball work since joining the World Cup 2026 squad on May 27. The striker, who has been sidelined since a grade‑two calf injury in mid‑May, participated in a drill alongside teammates under coach Carlo Ancelotti, who stressed the need to monitor his recovery and avoid rushing his return.

During the session Neymar greeted the press with a light‑hearted comment, "Did you miss me?", while continuing a rehabilitation program that so far has involved only physical work without full contact. The Brazilian camp remains cautious, hoping the star can rejoin competitive matches later in the tournament.

The news was highlighted across Argentine media outlets, which also covered a range of local stories, but the primary focus remained on Neymar’s progress ahead of the World Cup.
