Brazil forward Neymar has been ruled out for Friday's World Cup match against Haiti in Philadelphia.
The Brazil federation confirmed Thursday that Neymar will not travel with the team and will remain at the base camp in Morristown, N.J., where he returned to the practice field Wednesday for the first time since sustaining a calf injury on May 17.
Neymar, 34, is Brazil's all-time leader with 79 goals but has not competed in an international match since October 2023. He missed the team's Group C opener on Saturday, a 1-1 draw with Morocco in East Rutherford, N.J.
Brazil's media corps has reported that the team medical staff is hoping to have Neymar back for the knockout round.
Scotland are currently atop Group C through one round of matches behind their 1-0 defeat of Haiti.
