The story · English

Brazil’s football federation said on Thursday that Neymar will not travel with the squad to Philadelphia for its World Cup match against Haiti. The announcement means the star forward will miss Brazil’s second game of the tournament as he continues to recover from an injury.

Neymar also sat out Brazil’s opening match because of the same injury. The article says it is still unclear when he will be able to make his first appearance on the pitch in North America, despite the excitement that surrounded his selection for Brazil’s squad before the tournament.
