Brazil's World Cup campaign continues to be overshadowed by uncertainty surrounding the fitness of star forward Neymar, who underwent further tests on his injured right leg on Monday.
Hopes that the 34-year-old would rejoin training were dashed as he instead attended a clinic for examinations on his right calf. The Brazilian football confederation has not yet released the results of these crucial tests.
Neymar, participating in his fourth World Cup, has been sidelined since sustaining an injury with Santos on 17 May.
He has not taken part in any full training sessions since the five-time world champions commenced their World Cup preparations in Morristown, New Jersey, ahead of their match against Haiti on Friday in Philadelphia.
Brazilian media reports suggest the medical team is aiming for his full recovery by the knockout stages.
