Neymar has suffered a right ankle injury after being selected for Brazil's 2026 World Cup squad, though Santos medical staff expect him to recover before joining the national team's preparations.
Brazilian forward Neymar of Santos has sustained an ankle injury shortly after being named to Brazil's 2026 FIFA World Cup roster, though medical staff expect him to recover in time for the national team's preparations. Coach Carlo Ancelotti recently selected Neymar as part of Brazil's squad for the World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico next month. However, Santos' head physician Rodrigo Soguebay confirmed that Neymar has an ankle injury and will miss Santos' upcoming matches. The medical team reported that he has a 2-millimeter swelling in his right ankle, requiring him to sit out Santos' next fixture on May 27. Nevertheless, reports suggest that he should recover in time to join Brazil's national team camp to prepare for the 2026 World Cup.
