A new international break is in full swing at the start of October, and Brazil must, once again, do without its flagship player. Since October 2024, the Seleção has been without Neymar, still hampered by repeated physical problems.
The FC Santos striker, injured in the right thigh, is not expected to return to the field before the end of the Brazilian championship season, scheduled for early December, according to information from the Diário do Peixe website. Logically, he does not appear in Carlo Ancelotti's list for the October gathering, marked by two friendly matches against South Korea (5-0) last Friday and Japan this Tuesday.
Ancelotti's update
At a press conference, the Italian technician spoke about the case of the Auriverde superstar. Ancelotti regretted the absence of the former Parisian, while recalling the immense value of the player when he is in full possession of his means.
“At his best, Neymar can absolutely play in this team, without any problem. When he is physically fit, he has the characteristics required to play, not only for Brazil, but also for any team in the world thanks to his qualities.”said Ancelotti.
