Neymar Returns to Brazil's National Team for Crucial World Cup Qualifiers ⚽️
Exciting news for Brazil fans! After more than a year away from the national squad, superstar Neymar has been recalled by coach Dorival Junior for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina.
The 33-year-old forward made his much-anticipated return to action with Santos following an ACL injury he sustained in October 2023. Earlier this year, Neymar left Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal in January, signing a six-month contract back with his beloved boyhood club.
Brazil currently sits fifth in the South American qualifying standings and hopes Neymar's experience and skill can help propel the team forward. The squad is gearing up to host Colombia on March 20 before heading to Buenos Aires five days later to take on the leaders, Argentina, at the iconic Monumental de Nuñez Stadium.
Coach Dorival Junior shared his thoughts on Neymar's performance: "He played two matches at Santos for 90 minutes. He has also been spared in the last minutes of some matches. Let's see how he performs in the run-up to our matches."
Stay tuned as Brazil prepares to make a strong push in the qualifiers with Neymar back in the lineup! 🇧🇷✨
