Neymar’s future with the Brazil national team hangs by a thread, and the star forward has decided to take drastic measures.
Details: According to Wagner Frederico, the 34-year-old striker will miss Santos’ next two matches. The first absence will be due to suspension, but the real reason lies in a longer-term strategy: the club and the player have made a secret agreement that Neymar will only take the field for select key fixtures.
Neymar’s biggest fear is picking up another injury at the worst possible moment. With just over a month remaining until Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti announces the final World Cup squad on May 18, Neymar understands that even a minor knock in training or during a Brazilian league match could destroy his chances of making it to the tournament.
Now, every step he takes is closely monitored by the medical team, and his physical workload has been reduced to a minimum.
Recall: Sophie Rain claims that Brazil national team forward Vinicius invited her to spend the night, but canceled because of the Ballon d'Or.
