Neymar's Lingering Muscle Fatigue Puts Brazilian World Cup Dreams in Jeopardy
Neymar will miss Santos' match against Mirassol due to muscle fatigue, affecting his hopes of rejoining Brazil's national team before the World Cup. Coach Carlo Ancelotti is assessing players for upcoming friendlies, and Neymar's absence surprises Brazil's FA. Neymar's injury struggles since 2023 continue affecting his play.
Neymar, the Brazilian football star, will be absent from Santos' Tuesday clash with Mirassol due to muscle fatigue, threatening his return to Brazil's World Cup squad.
Santos claims the absence is a precaution; however, Brazilian coach Carlo Ancelotti had planned to assess Neymar in person. Sources say Ancelotti and Brazil's FA are frustrated by Neymar's unavailability.
Ancelotti will still visit Sao Paulo to evaluate other players. With Neymar's absence, Brazil may fill their roster with in-form talents like Vinicius Jr and Raphinha for upcoming friendlies.
