Neymar likely to miss Brazil's World Cup opener against Morocco

Brazil is expected to be without Neymar for their opening match against Morocco on Saturday due to a grade two calf injury. After not playing for nearly three years, his inclusion in the squad raised eyebrows, but his injury limits his immediate impact. Spain's Lamine Yamal is also a question mark for their opener against Cape Verde, having returned to training after a hamstring issue. The United States witnessed Christian Pulisic withdrawn at halftime during their victory over Paraguay due to a calf problem, but recovery looks promising. Canada’s Alphonso Davies missed their draw against Bosnia but remains hopeful for a return against Qatar.
