Bad news for Ancelotti? Brazil officially announces Neymar will miss the second match! Already injured for a month, with only 10 minutes of team practice.

On June 18, Beijing time, the Brazilian Football Federation released a statement confirming that the 34-year-old Neymar will not travel with the squad to Philadelphia. He will stay at the Brazilian national team headquarters in New Jersey, making use of the excellent hotel and training center facilities to concentrate on the final stage of his rehabilitation.

Neymar has also been ruled out of the key World Cup group stage second-round match between Brazil and Haiti. As a result, Brazil's manager Ancelotti will have to contend with the embarrassment of being one player short for two straight games.

In the first round of the World Cup group stage, where Brazil drew 1-1 with Morocco, Neymar was already absent from the squad due to injury. Neymar's Grade 2 strain in his right calf has now lasted for a full month, which has once again sparked controversy over his eligibility to be called up.

According to Brazilian media reports, during yesterday's 15-minute open training session, Neymar participated in team drills alongside his teammates. He engaged in approximately ten minutes of physical exercises with the rest of the players, but was then moved aside to undergo specialized recovery training under the guidance of a fitness coach.

The team's internal assessment indicates that Neymar is still far from being ready to join higher-intensity team training. Examinations show improvement in his injury, but not enough to allow training that would increase the load on his calf.

Therefore, the Brazilian Football Federation believes that caution remains the top priority. The transitional process of physical recovery must be strictly controlled to avoid any setbacks that could further delay the progress of Brazil's No. 10 star.
