Ready for the opener? Neymar's potential return date revealed

Neymar was called up to Brazil's squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but suffered an injury, and fresh information has now emerged regarding his potential return.

Details: According to reports from Globo, the attacking star could recover in time for Brazil's opening fixture. Initial reports suggested that Neymar would return for the match against Haiti, but there is now a possibility that he could be available even earlier, for the clash with Morocco, Brazil's first match of the tournament. If his recovery continues as planned, Neymar could be fit and ready for selection.

Earlier, we reported that 29-year-old Spain international and Real Sociedad forward Mikel Oyarzabal was forced to leave the pitch prematurely due to injury.

Reminder: The atmosphere within the France camp ahead of the World Cup is extremely focused and serious. Every player understands the significance of the tournament, where France will be aiming to reclaim the world title.
