The match is set to kick off at 6:00 PM Eastern Time (3:00 PM Pacific Time) as he is still recovering from an injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.softfootball.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Softfootball<\/a> previously reported that the Brazil Football Federation announced Neymar underwent an MRI on Monday, June 8, 2026, revealing that he is in good condition and recovering as anticipated.
