Brazil could be set for a huge boost ahead of their opening clash against Morocco's Atlas Lions at the 2026 World Cup.

In recent hours, a Globoesporte journalist provided an update on Neymar Jr.'s fitness. Now, there is a strong possibility that the Brazilian superstar could be available for Brazil's first match of the World Cup.

"Neymar underwent an MRI scan. There is huge anticipation. His recovery is going well, but we'll have to wait a bit longer. For now, he will stick to the staff's plan: treatment, physiotherapy, and physical work separate from the group. There is hope he can rejoin the squad. To play against Morocco? It's likely Neymar will be available, even though the stated goal is for him to be ready against Haiti on June 19," she explained.
