Reports from Brazil have raised concerns about Neymar's injury, with uncertainty surrounding the exact nature of the leg muscle issue affecting the Santos star.

Initially believed to be a minor muscle strain, the injury may be more serious than expected, casting doubt on the Brazilian national team captain's readiness in the near future, according to the Brazilian channel TNT Sports.

Neymar is scheduled to undergo further medical examinations tomorrow at the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation, alongside other national team players. These tests aim to accurately assess the injury's severity and establish an appropriate treatment or rehabilitation plan ahead of the World Cup.

Reports indicate that Neymar is at risk of missing Brazil's two upcoming friendly matches: against Panama on May 31 at the Maracanã Stadium, and against Egypt on June 5 in the United States.

Additionally, upon joining the national team camp in Granja Comary, Neymar will undergo further evaluations to finalize his participation status for the forthcoming period.
