“He will remain in New Jersey ​to make the most of the final ​stage of his recovery, making use of ⁠the excellent facilities at The Ridge hotel and ​the Columbia Park training centre,” they said in a ​statement on Thursday.

The 34-year-old was seen doing drills with the squad after warming up separately in boots and with the ​ball in a training session on Wednesday.

He ​had been limited to indoor work at the team’s training ‌centre ⁠with physiotherapists and fitness coaches, with Brazil being cautious about his return to action.

Neymar injured his right calf during Santos’ 3-0 defeat by Coritiba ​last month, ​the latest ⁠in a long run of injuries and physical setbacks for the former Barcelona ​and Paris St Germain forward, who ​has ⁠not played for Brazil in almost three years.

Brazil have one point after opening their World Cup ⁠campaign ​with a draw against Morocco, ​while Haiti are bottom of the group after losing to Scotland.
