Brazil’s Neymar faces two to three weeks on the sidelines after injuring his calf. (AFP) Neymar has been ruled out of Brazil’s upcoming friendlies and is set to miss their World Cup opener after scans revealed a grade-two calf injury, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said on Thursday.CBF doctor Rodrigo Lasmar delivered the blow ahead of a players’ press conference, confirming the 34-year-old forward faces two to three more weeks on the sidelines.”Neymar reported for duty yesterday here at Granja Comary, underwent all the medical tests, which concluded with an MRI scan revealing a grade-two calf injury, not just swelling. He is expected to be cleared in two to three weeks,” Lasmar said.He did not say whether Neymar could be dropped from the squad. He had joined the team on Tuesday but missed Wednesday’s first training session and was sent to a private clinic in Teresopolis for imaging tests after complaints of swelling in his right calf.According to Lasmar, the MRI showed not swelling, as previously reported, but a Grade 2 calf strain – a moderate injury involving a partial tear of the muscle fibers that requires rest and rehabilitation.The diagnosis differs from that presented by Santos prior to the squad announcement. The club’s doctor Rodrigo Zogaib had stated the problem was merely swelling and that Neymar would arrive fit to begin training on Tuesday.Instead, Brazil’s all-time leading scorer will miss Sunday’s friendly against Panama at the Maracana and the subsequent match against Egypt in Cleveland. He is also all but ruled out of Brazil’s World Cup opener against African champions Morocco on June 13 in New Jersey.Brazil are in Group C also alongside Haiti and Scotland.Manager Carlo Ancelotti had already been without defenders Gabriel Magalhaes and Marquinhos and forward Gabriel Martinelli for Sunday’s fixture due to their involvement in last weekend’s Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.Neymar’s recall last week had generated widespread excitement after he had not featured in Ancelotti’s plans during the Italian’s year in charge. The forward, who has scored 79 goals in 128 international appearances, has endured years of injury trouble and an underwhelming return to Santos.In an interview in early May, Ancelotti said that Neymar would receive no special treatment and that his place in the squad would be strictly based on fitness and form, not sentiment.For now, Brazil must plan without him.

Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer visits Acton Works, a training facility in Chiswick, west London, yesterday. (Reuters) Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended his government yesterday against criticism from Labour’s longest-serving premier, Tony Blair, saying his ministers had adopted the right policies to start stabilising Britain after a period of flux. Blair, who led Labour to victory in three British elections between 1997 and 2007, took aim at Starmer and two potential rivals this week, in a more than 5,000 word essay calling on the governing party to focus on better policy decisions rather than personalities or knee-jerk responses to its declining fortunes.Starmer, who is battling some of the worst popularity ratings of any leader, said while he welcomed debate on “policy and ideas”, he disagreed with Blair’s assessment of the government’s record almost two years into power.”I don’t agree that the policy choices of this government weren’t the right policy choices, given what we inherited,” he told reporters.”(It’s a) very different situation in 2024 to 1997; and dealing with what we had to turn around, the policy choices were vindicated by them, because those changes have happened,” Starmer said.He listed better relations with the European Union, stabilising the economy and reducing waiting times for the country’s public health service as his government’s achievements, pressing home his oft-repeated message that he is not planning to step down despite calls from some in the party. Blair’s comments have done little to settle emotions in Labour, with the two potential contenders to replace Starmer — Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham and former health minister Wes Streeting — also rejecting his critique.On Wednesday, Burnham and Streeting both said Blair had failed to grasp how inequality in Britain was driving new voting habits, such as the rising popularity of the populist Reform UK party and the left-leaning Green Party. Since suffering large defeats in local elections and votes to the Scottish and Welsh assemblies earlier this month, Starmer has faced the biggest challenge yet to his authority, with dozens of Labour lawmakers calling on him to step aside.He has pledged to fight on and prove his critics wrong by delivering the “change” he promised when Labour won a landslide election victory in 2024.
