Brazil's World Cup aspirations are clouded by injury concerns surrounding star forward Neymar, who is set to undergo an MRI scan to assess a calf injury. Neymar, 34, was unable to participate in training and missed the recent friendly against Egypt, which Brazil won 2-1. Manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed cautious optimism about Neymar's recovery, indicating that if the MRI results are favorable, Neymar could resume training with the squad next week. In the same match, Brazil's defense faced a setback when defender Wesley Franca suffered a muscle strain just 17 minutes in, leading to his substitution. Ancelotti lamented the loss of Franca, who was expected to be a key player in the tournament. Brazil is placed in Group C alongside Scotland, Morocco, and Haiti, and will kick off their World Cup campaign against Morocco on Saturday night. The team demonstrated their attacking prowess in the warm-up match, but the absence of key players due to injuries raises concerns ahead of the tournament.
