The March matches for the Brazilian national team will proceed without Santos winger Neymar, who, despite being included in the preliminary "Seleção" squad, was not in the final list. For the player himself, this decision was no surprise.
Details: As Neymar revealed on his social media, this decision was discussed with the coaching staff of the Brazil national team to avoid aggravating his injury. He regrets not playing in the national team's matches, but this absence is part of the process.
Quote: "It seemed so close, but unfortunately, I won't be able to wear the heaviest shirt in the world at the moment! We had long discussions, and you all know how much I wanted to return, but we reached a consensus and decided not to take risks and better prepare to fully heal the injury! It's part of the process."
