Neymar’s Paris Saint-Germain teammate Marquinhos also arrived later. The defender had a light practice session on Tuesday. Brazil has begun its World Cup preparations in Turin, where it will stay until heading to Qatar on Saturday. The five-time world champions will play their opening game against Serbia on Nov. 24.
