Neymar of Paris Saint-Germain will play for Brazil in any of his World Cup qualifiers this month after being ruled by national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar due to an injury to the left aductor.
The 28-year-old sent off after 26 minutes in the Ligue 1 giants’ recent 2-0 win in Group H of the Champions League in Istanbul Basaksehir and has not played for the club or the country since.
Neymar was the subject of a fight between PSG and his country before the 222 million euro boy was summoned regardless through Brazilian coach Tite, but was ruled almost immediately from the first of the two qualifiers opposed to Venezuela.
Lasmar and Tite were hopeful that Neymar would be up and running when Selecao Brasileira faces Uruguay next week, but were forced to admit defeat in the battle of fitness.
“The player trained on Monday and has since undergone extensive physiotherapy,” Lasmar’s official read. “He performed well, but not adequately for inclusive participation opposed to Uruguay. By the time we arrived in Sao Paulo, scans had already been scheduled to track their reaction to treatment. “
Neymar first teamed up with Granja Comary in Teresopolis in the hope that his aductor challenge would be cured in time for the match with Uruguay at Montevideo’s Centenario Stadium, but his retirement now casts doubts about his participation in the PSG in Monaco next Friday. .
Paris teammates Kylian Mbappé and Presnel Kimpembe, also injured, were not used in France in Wednesday’s 2-0 defeat in a home friendly against Finland, the team expects to play Portugal and Sweden in Group 3 of the UEFA Nations A-League.
