Neymar's injury raised alarm in the Brazilian team on the eve of the World Cup. This Thursday (28), doctor Rodrigo Lasmar confirmed that the attacker suffered a grade 2 muscle injury in his right calf after further tests. Recovery is expected to take two to three weeks.


With Brazil's debut at the World Cup approaching, the situation raised doubts about the possibility of cutting the number 10 shirt before the start of the competition.


What FIFA says
According to FIFA regulations, a player on the final list can only be replaced in cases of injury or serious illness up to 24 hours before the team's debut in the World Cup. The substitute must be present on the pre-list previously sent by the national confederation.

For the exchange to be authorized, the entity responsible for the selection must forward a detailed medical evaluation to FIFA. After analyzing the documents, the FIFA Medical Committee decides whether the injury is serious enough to prevent the athlete from participating in the tournament.


If the cut is confirmed, the injured player loses his competition credential and officially leaves the final selection list. The substitute inherits the jersey number of the retired athlete.


Brazil's debut in the World Cup
Brazil's debut in the World Cup takes place on Saturday (13), at 7pm, against Morocco, in New Jersey.
