Brazil midfielder Casemiro has expressed confidence that Neymar can still be a 'main player' for the national team at the 2026 World Cup, despite a recent injury setback. Speaking to reporters in Teresópolis as Brazil began their final preparations for the tournament, Casemiro faced questions about Neymar's fitness rather than his own role.
Casemiro, who plays for Manchester United, said: 'Neymar is a special player. He can still be a main player for us at the World Cup.' The comments come after Neymar suffered a new injury blow, though specific details of the injury were not confirmed in the source article.
Brazil are preparing for the 2026 World Cup, which is scheduled to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The team's training camp in Teresópolis is part of their final preparations. Neymar, 34, has a history of injuries but remains a key figure for the Seleção.
