Despite the large number of relevant names, many wonder why he is not on the payroll Neymarthe most media star in his country.
Why isn’t Neymar playing in the 2024 Copa América?
Neymar’s withdrawal from this competition was made official last May when they announced Brazil’s roster. However, from before it was known that due to injury the striker of the Al-Hilal from the Arab Emirates would not arrive in good condition.
Neymar has been injured since October 2023 when, playing for the national team in the Qualifiers, he suffered a strong tackle from Uruguayan Nicolás de La Cruz.
Subsequent examinations confirmed the worst prognoses: the former PSg had suffered torn ligaments and meniscus in his left knee.
“Neymar has shown good progress and is expected to return to the playing field in 9 or 10 months,” Rodrigo Lasmar, doctor of the Brazilian team, later said.
