Just days before the start of the 2026 World Cup, Neymar continues to dominate the spotlight within the Brazilian national team. A situation that is apparently beginning to frustrate some of his teammates, starting with Casemiro.
Neymar is injured, and Brazil is growing increasingly concerned. Will he recover in time? Will he be able to play? The uncertainty has become a major talking point in Rio, and the rest of the squad is already growing tired of it. Speaking at a press conference, Manchester United midfielder Casemiro was once again questioned about the fitness of the Santos forward, whose participation in Brazil’s opening matches remains highly uncertain. Faced with repeated questions from the media, the former Real Madrid captain did not hide his irritation.
Casemiro Urges Focus on the Team
“Once again, we come here and have to talk about Neymar, Neymar, Neymar…” Casemiro sighed, clearly frustrated that every discussion revolves around his teammate. It was a direct message to journalists as the Seleção prepares for one of the biggest tournaments in world football.

The defensive midfielder was quick to remind everyone of Neymar’s importance to the Brazilian squad. Despite his injury and the many questions surrounding his physical condition, the former PSG star remains one of the key figures in the national team setup.
However, Casemiro stressed one essential point: the collective must remain at the heart of Brazil’s project. “I think Neymar is a player like any other within the group, an important player among the 26,” he explained. His comments reflect the dressing room’s determination not to rely exclusively on its superstar. As Neymar edges closer to missing Brazil’s opening World Cup match, the Seleção is determined to prove it has enough talent to challenge for the title, with or without its all-time leading scorer.
