Brazil’s national team has confirmed Neymar will miss their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay due to his ongoing recovery from a knee injury sustained in 2023.
The Al-Hilal forward, Brazil’s all-time leading scorer with 79 goals, continues to face setbacks, fueling concerns about his fitness for the 2026 World Cup.
In contrast, West Ham’s Lucas Paquetá has been recalled to the Seleção after being cleared in a betting-related investigation that sidelined him previously.
The 27-year-old midfielder, known for his creativity, is expected to strengthen Brazil’s midfield under coach Dorival Junior. The squad also features young stars like Endrick Felipe, as Brazil aims to solidify their position in the CONMEBOL qualifiers. Fans are buzzing about Paquetá’s return but remain anxious over Neymar’s prolonged absence.
