This Tuesday night, Neymar downplayed the edema in his right calf, which has kept him away from Santos commitments just a few days before the start of the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Key details
When asked by a journalist about the condition of the affected area of his leg, the Brazilian striker responded amidst laughter with a simple “It’s here, in one piece”.

Faced with the insistence of the reporter, who then asked him if it would be a problem at the World Cup, the Canarian international quickly responded: “What’s a problem?”
The player was approached about his clinical condition after watching, at Vila Belmiro, Santos’ victory (3-0) over Deportivo Cuenca, from Ecuador, which guaranteed the team’s qualification for the Copa Sudamericana playoffs.
Remember that Neymar was limited to physiotherapy work last week due to grade 2 edema, described by the club as swelling of less than 2 millimeters. The stipulated recovery period of ten days was met this Tuesday, opening the possibility for the player to soon return to training on the pitch, after carrying out new tests.
