Brazilian forward Neymar has suffered a calf injury while playing for Santos FC, casting doubt on his participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The injury occurred during a match last week, and initial reports indicate he will be sidelined for several weeks.
Neymar was called up to the Brazilian national team for the World Cup, but this injury may prevent him from playing. The exact severity of the injury and recovery timeline are still being assessed by medical staff.
This is a significant blow for Brazil, as Neymar is a key player and one of the most recognizable footballers in the world. The team will now have to consider alternative options for the tournament.
