FIFA World Cup: Brazil will be without Neymar for their opening FIFA World Cup group-stage match against Morocco, with coach Carlo Ancelotti admitting the superstar forward could miss the entire group phase as he continues his recovery from a calf injury.

Speaking before Saturday's matchup against the 2022 World Cup semi-finalists in New Jersey, Ancelotti mentioned that Neymar is making progress but is not ready to return yet.

"He is working hard to be fit again as quickly as possible. We hope he can return to full training next week," Ancelotti said.
