Neymar a doubt for Brazil's World Cup opener due to injury: Doctor

Brazil forward Neymar is a doubt for the start of the World Cup after injuring his calf, requiring two to three weeks of treatment, the national team's doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said on Thursday.

The 34-year-old Santos star will miss Brazil's two pre-World Cup friendlies against Panama and Egypt, but may also be out of their tournament opener against Morocco on June 13.

An MRI scan "identified a grade two muscle injury... our expectation is that he will be available in two to three weeks," Lasmar said.
