Neymar returned to full training on Tuesday with the Santos squad after spending a month recovering from a left thigh injury, the Brazilian club reported.

The number 10 joined warm-up activities with the team and later took part in a ball control and passing drill. According to the sports outlet Ge, he “did not show any discomfort from the injury” during the 30-minute session that was open to the press.

The Brazilian star had spent the past month undergoing physiotherapy, recovery work, and muscle strengthening due to the injury that had kept him out of Santos matches and even from the Brazilian national team. He had initially been called up, but was later withdrawn from the squad ahead of the World Cup qualifying matches against Colombia and Argentina.

Santos will continue daily training sessions this week ahead of their upcoming match against Fluminense on Sunday in the Brazilian Championship.

The Comptroller General of Panama, Anel Flores, stated on Monday that the audit initiated last January on the Chinese company CK Hutchison’s subsidiary, which operates two ports around the Panama Canal, has revealed a series of breaches of contract, a multi-million dollar debt with the State, and irregularities in the automatic renewal of the concession.

“More than 300 million (dollars) are owed to us due to breaches in the contract,” Flores said, referring to Panama Ports Company (PPC), which operates the Balboa and Cristóbal ports located at the Pacific and Atlantic entrances of the Canal, respectively.

PPC has managed Balboa and Cristóbal, two of the five ports around the Canal, since 1997, when it was granted a 25-year concession contract that was automatically extended for another 25 years in June 2021, amid accusations of alleged corruption and unfavorable conditions for the Panamanian State, which holds a 10% stake.

In a press conference surrounded by auditors, the comptroller made a lengthy list of the unfavorable results for the Panamanian State from a modification to the concession conditions made in 2002, during the government of Mireya Moscoso (1999-2004).

These changes, which among other things eliminated a 22 million-dollar annual fee to the treasury, left the State with a fee based on container entries and included a series of tax exemptions, allowing the treasury to lose “about 1.2 billion dollars over two decades, at a rate of 55 million dollars per year.”

“This situation is not the company’s fault,” Flores said, “but rather the fault of some ‘bad Panamanians’ who negotiated the concession contract very poorly.”

The automatic renewal of the PPC concession approved by the Board of Directors of the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) “did not meet all the legal requirements and also lacks the endorsement of the General Comptroller’s Office,” something the law mandates, Flores emphasized.

The Trump administration on Monday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block a lower court order requiring the return of a Salvadoran migrant who was mistakenly sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, despite having legal protection from deportation.

The U.S. government has until Monday to bring Kilmer Armado Ábrego García back to the United States, as ordered by Judge Paula Xinis in a Maryland court.

According to The Washington Post, the administration argues it lacks authority to comply because Ábrego García is currently in Salvadoran custody.

The U.S. had appealed Judge Xinis’ ruling to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, but the court declined to act immediately—prompting the administration to take the case to the Supreme Court. In its filing, the government stated that “the Constitution entrusts the President, not federal district courts, with the conduct of foreign diplomacy and the protection of the nation from foreign terrorists, including through deportation.”

Ábrego García, a resident of Prince George’s County, Maryland, and married to a U.S. citizen, came under scrutiny in 2019 after an informant claimed he was a member of the MS-13 gang (Mara Salvatrucha).

Although he was initially slated for deportation, a judge later granted him a stay of removal after he requested asylum, according to the lawsuit.

Nevertheless, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained him on March 12, claiming his status had changed, and sent him to a detention center in Texas.
