The curse strikes once more. According to Globo Esporte, Neymar has suffered a fresh setback, feeling discomfort in his thigh and returning to the treatment room at Santos. A new blow that threatens his long-awaited return to the Brazil squad in September.
Carlo Ancelotti had planned to call the former PSG star for the World Cup 2026 qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia. But that dream is over — Neymar will not make the final list. Santos have already warned the CBF of doubts surrounding his condition.
At 33, Neymar hasn’t worn the Seleção shirt since October 18, 2023, in the 2-0 defeat to Uruguay. Each relapse raises more questions about his future with Brazil, and whether fans will ever see him shine for his country again.
For now, hope turns into frustration once again. The story of Neymar’s career in recent years: brilliance interrupted by endless injuries.
