Injured neymar

Brazil World Cup: Veteran forward Neymar will miss Brazil's World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina due to a thigh injury, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said on Friday.

The 33-year-old, who has not played for Brazil since October 2023 because of a knee injury, was replaced by teenage Real Madrid forward Endrick, reports Xinhua.

"The return seemed so close, but unfortunately I won't be able to wear the most important shirt in the world for the moment," Neymar wrote on Instagram.
