Cuca responds about Neymar's physical condition: "Improving day by day"

Santos coach, Cuca spoke about the real physical condition of Neymar, who is dealing with a calf injury and will appear in the Brazilian team this Wednesday (27).

After Santos' 3-0 victory over Deportivo Cuenca, the coach was asked if the number 10 will be fit to play for the friendlies before the World Cup, against Panama and Egypt.

"Neymar is improving day by day. He presents himself tomorrow (this Wednesday) at the CBF and now he's there with Rodrigo Lasmar (the team's doctor). He did all his treatment here and I think he's better day by day. There should be a little bit left and then he'll finish what's left", declared the coach.

According to "TNT Sports", Neymar is expected to be absent for Brazil in the pre-World Cup friendlies. He will undergo further medical examinations at the Selection's presentation at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis.
