Injured Neymar's participation in the 2026 World Cup remains in doubt

Brazil forward Neymar has been named in the squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, but his participation is far from certain due to ongoing injury concerns. The tournament is set to begin in June.

Brazil star Neymar has been included in his country's squad for the FIFA World Cup starting in June, but serious doubts remain over whether he will actually take to the pitch during the tournament.

The veteran forward has been battling injuries in recent times, and despite earning a place in the Brazilian national team roster, his fitness level continues to raise questions among coaches, medical staff, and fans alike.

Neymar has long been one of Brazil's most important players, and his potential absence would be a significant blow to the South American nation's title ambitions. Brazil has historically been one of the favourites heading into every World Cup, and the team will be hoping their talismanic forward can recover in time to contribute.
