Neymar rejoined training with Brazil's World Cup squad on Wednesday as he continues his recovery from a calf injury.

The 34-year-old participated in warmup activities and drill work before practicing separately from the main group at Brazil's training camp in New Jersey.

Neymar has been sidelined since May after sustaining a grade two calf strain in his right leg while playing for Santos.

Despite appearing to make progress, the Santos forward is not expected to be part of Brazil's squad for its World Cup Group C clash with Haiti in Philadelphia on Friday.

Brazil's all-time leading scorer with 79 goals in 128 international appearances, Neymar has not played for the national team since suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in October 2023.

Brazil began its World Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against Morocco last Saturday.
