"Obviously I'm upset and sad not to have been selected. But the focus remains the same, day after day, training session after training session, match after match. We'll achieve our goal. There's still one final squad announcement to go and the dream lives on."
"Neymar must 'keep working, playing, showcasing his qualities and maintaining good physical condition.' Brazil's all-time leading scorer with 79 goals, Neymar is fighting against the clock to appear at a fourth World Cup."
Neymar has been omitted from Brazil's national team for upcoming friendlies against France and Croatia due to fitness concerns, as confirmed by coach Carlo Ancelotti. The 34-year-old Santos player has struggled with injuries, managing only limited appearances in recent matches. Despite his exclusion, Neymar expressed determination to pursue his World Cup dream, stating his focus remains on training and performing well. Ancelotti has not completely ruled out Neymar's inclusion in the final squad announcement scheduled for May 18, but emphasized the player must maintain good physical condition and continue showcasing his qualities. Neymar has not played for Brazil since October 2023 when he suffered a torn ACL and meniscus.
