Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar could return from his injury layoff in Brazil's friendly against Croatia on June 3.
The Selecao star has been out of action since February this year after having surgery on a foot fracture. However, according to the Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar, Neymar is ready to step up his preparations for the FIFA World Cup.
"Next week, he'll be able to start training with the group. It's progressive work and next week our idea is that he starts to work with the ball and the goal is that he can be fully fit to work with [coach] Tite in his final phase, so that he can take part in the first friendly," he told a press conference, per Dejan Kalinic of Goal.
