Neymar will undergo tests this Monday (8) to assess the injury to his right calf. The star did not travel with the squad to Cleveland, which beat Egypt 2-1 this past Saturday (6).

Despite his last absence, he will be at the MetLife Stadium, in New Jersey, for the Brazilian team's debut next Saturday (13).

Sources confirmed to CNN that the intention is to have the player at the stadium, regardless of the medical diagnosis that will evaluate the injury. If released by the medical team, Carlo Ancelotti stated that the player could train with the rest of the team on the field at CT Red Bull.

Which game will come?
In an optimistic scenario, he could be related and be, at the very least, on the Seleção's bench. However, in the most realistic scenario, Neymar could be among his teammates in the game against Haiti, on June 19, in Philadelphia.

There is also the understanding that, even without playing conditions, Neymar's presence at the stadium can serve as support for the players involved in their debut. It would be the equivalent of what happened in the game against Panama, at Maracanã, where the attacker was not included due to injury, but was at the stadium and was acclaimed by the fans.

It's close...
Another reason for Neymar's presence at the MetLife Stadium would be the distance between the CT, in Morristown and the MetLife Stadium, less than 30 minutes by car. In other words, there would be no wear and tear on the player, even when treating the injury, while traveling. This was, in fact, the main reason for Neymar's stay in New Jersey while the rest of the team moved to the state of Ohio.
