I m out of the Brazilian team again, is Neymar s era coming to an end?

Is Neymar's era coming to an end?

is 33 years old and has a history of injury. The prospects for whether Neymar can recover in time and participate in the 2026 World Cup have become increasingly slim. The pained nightmare of the Brazilian superstar is not over yet. According to Santos club chairman Marcelo Teixeira, 33-year-old Neymar will continue to be absent due to a thigh injury and will not return until at least November. The news casts a deeper shadow on his club prospects and hopes of returning to the Brazilian national team.

Therefore, when the Brazilian Football Association announced the list of friendly matches against South Korea (October 10) and Japan (October 14), it was not surprising that Neymar was out of the election again. Coach Ancelotti re-enlisted Vinicius and Rodrigo, but the team's No. 10 core has not recovered due to a thigh injury, so he can only continue to watch from the wall.

Neymar originally hoped to make a comeback around this international match day, but his physical condition did not meet the game requirements. A Brazilian Football Association official said: "This is not surprising. We have long been told that he cannot recover in time."

Since suffering a serious injury from an ACL rupture in October 2023, Neymar has been in a quagmire of injuries. That serious injury not only brought his short career in the Saudi giant Riyadh Crescent, but also made him rest for nearly a year before returning to the field.

So far this season, Neymar has played only 21 games for Santos and scored 6 goals. For a player who was once the source of the soul and creativity of the entire team, such data seemed very dull. Since he returned to Brazil, frequent injuries have severely limited his on-court influence.

And the recurrence of his thigh injury undoubtedly made his situation worse. At present, Santos is in a quagmire of relegation, winning only 1 game in the last 8 games, leading the relegation zone with only 3 points. Neymar's long-term absence has a huge blow to the team.

After 33 years, he is constantly injured and sick. Every long rest makes his peak state even more out of reach. Nowadays, every extra serious injury makes people wonder: Does this once genius boy still have enough physical capital and time to pursue his dream of the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup? Fans are worried: Neymar's career may really be heading towards the end.
