Star forward Neymar will officially miss Brazil’s upcoming match against the Haitian national team. The decision comes from the Selecao’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, who has opted not to include Neymar in the squad for this game.
The national team’s medical and coaching staff have determined that it is best to eliminate any risks associated with Neymar’s health. The forward only returned to full training with the group 24 hours ago, and is currently focusing on regaining his optimal condition.
The coaching staff aims to protect their team leader, allowing him the opportunity to complete his recovery process without rushing his workload. If Neymar’s fitness improves, he is expected to make his return in the third round against Scotland.
The Catalan club has received a lucrative offer for Raphinha from a Saudi club.
