Brazilian superstar Neymar has suffered a thigh injury this week, raising fresh concerns about his availability for the national team’s upcoming fixtures. According to reports from Globo, the forward picked up the knock during training, and his recovery timeline remains uncertain.
Carlo Ancelotti, who is set to take charge of the Seleção, had planned to call up Neymar for Brazil’s September international matches as part of his squad reshuffle. The 33-year-old, currently playing for Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, was expected to make his long-awaited return to the national setup after battling with fitness issues over the past year.
However, this latest setback has cast doubt on his participation. Brazil’s medical staff will monitor the injury closely, and a final decision on his involvement will be made in the coming days.
Neymar remains one of Brazil’s most influential players, with 79 goals in 128 appearances for the Seleção, and his absence would be a major blow as the team prepares for crucial World Cup qualifying games.
