September 20th September Brazilian player Neymar suffered another injury, and the Santos club he played for has confirmed that his right thigh muscle injury was damaged. French media FM wrote an article saying that Neymar will miss the Brazilian roster again.

French media believe that Neymar will be confirmed to be absent from the Brazilian national team's training camp in October and is very likely to miss the next training camp in November, which will be the second-last training camp before the World Cup.

This injury was a heavy blow to Neymar, as he was in good shape in recent months. He has completed nearly nine consecutive games since July, his first since 2022. Previously, Brazilian coach Ancelotti did not recruit Neymar on the grounds of physical condition. But Neymar himself retorted that he believed that his defeat was "technical".

Recently, Ancelotti put pressure on Neymar in an interview, saying: "A talented player must also be in good health. He must be in 100% condition, not 80%. If he is in good health, he can participate in the World Cup." The report said that for Neymar, who is looking to use this World Cup as the "last dance" of his national team, this injury is obviously not an ideal way to prepare.

After returning to Santos, Neymar played in 21 games for the team, scoring 6 goals and sending 3 assists.
