Neymar will miss the friendly match between Brazil and Egypt.

Brazilian media reports have revealed that Neymar Jr. will not accompany the Brazilian national team to Cleveland, which will host the friendly match against Egypt next Saturday, as part of the final preparatory phase for the "Seleção" before the start of the 2026 World Cup.

The same source confirmed, citing a statement from the Brazilian Football Confederation, that Neymar will remain in New Jersey to continue his physical therapy and rehabilitation program, as he recovers from the injury he sustained in his calf muscle during his last appearance in a Santos jersey.

Brazilian "ESPN" added that the medical staff of the Brazilian national team will continue to monitor the player's condition over the coming days, and he will undergo a new MRI scan on June 12, just one day before the anticipated match against the Moroccan national team in the opening of the two teams' journey in the 2026 World Cup.

The same source indicated that the final decision regarding Neymar's participation in the match against Morocco will be made after the results of the medical tests are available and his physical readiness is assessed by the medical and technical staff of the Brazilian national team, led by Carlo Ancelotti.
