Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has expressed confidence that Neymar will be fit and available for Brazil at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite the forward currently nursing a right calf strain that could keep him out for two to three weeks.

The injury puts Neymar at risk of missing Brazil's warm-up friendlies ahead of the tournament, and potentially their opening group fixture against Morocco. However, Casemiro moved to calm concerns about his compatriot's long-term availability.
