Neymar may miss Brazil’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Chile on September 5 and Bolivia on September 10, as injuries continue to trouble him. Santos confirmed he is sidelined with right knee pain and will undergo treatment. The forward last played for Brazil in October 2023 before suffering meniscus and cruciate ligament injuries.
After the latest setback in his recovery, Neymar may remain out of Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil plans for the closing stage of the World Cup qualifiers. The Brazilian star has been sidelined yet again, with Santos confirming his absence from their upcoming clash against Bahia due to pain in his right knee. Neymar will undergo treatment next week, and only if his condition shows signs of improvement will he be considered for a return to action in the following weeks.
Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti is set to announce his final squad for the decisive matches against Chile on September 5 and Bolivia on September 10. However, the chances of Neymar featuring remain slim, meaning the forward could miss his first call-up under the Italian coach. The 33-year-old has not played for Brazil since October 2023, when he suffered a torn meniscus and cruciate ligament in a World Cup qualifier against Uruguay.
With Neymar still recovering and struggling to regain full fitness, Brazil will have to prepare for crucial fixtures without their most experienced forward. His absence highlights the injury troubles that have overshadowed the final years of his international career, raising uncertainty about his long-term future with the national team.
