Neymar Ruled Out of Brazil’s World Cup Qualifiers Due to Injury
Posted : 15 March 2025
Neymar has been ruled out of Brazil’s upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina after a left thigh injury derailed his much-anticipated return.
The 33-year-old, who recently rejoined Santos, had been recalled by coach Dorival Junior but agreed not to take risks as he continues recovery.
In an Instagram post, Neymar expressed disappointment at missing the games, stating his desire to return but emphasizing the need for proper rehabilitation.
Real Madrid’s Endrick will replace him in the squad as Brazil, currently fifth in qualifying, prepares for the crucial matches.
