Ancelotti May Exclude Neymar from Brazil's World Cup Squad
Carlo Ancelotti, the current coach of Brazil's national football team, is considering dropping Neymar Jr. from the squad for the upcoming 2026 World Cup due to a significant injury. Neymar is currently a major doubt ahead of Brazil's warm-up match.
He has been diagnosed with a grade two calf tear, which was confirmed through an MRI scan conducted at Granja Comari. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is ensuring the privacy of Neymar's medical information while he undergoes treatment.
Rodrigo Lasmar, the national team's doctor, confirmed that Neymar arrived at the training facility for medical examinations. Neymar is expected to require two to three weeks of treatment to recover from the injury, which raises concerns about his availability for the World Cup.
