Brasileiro
GTD
Injury Calf
Est. Return 6/1/2026
Likely to miss friendlies
Neymar (calf) is unlikely to compete in Brazil's pre-World Cup friendlies due to injury, according to Liberta Depre.
ANALYSIS
Neymar is still dealing with his calf injury, and it seems he will not be risked ahead of the World Cup, with the forward likely to sit out on their friendlies. The situation will be monitored closely, as they will not want him carrying the injury into the tournament, already a injury-prone player either way. Brazil will kick off the World Cup on June 13 against Morocco, hopeful to have their star fit by then.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to extend deal?
Neymar is looking to extend his current contract at Santos until June 2026, according to Mario Cortegana of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Neymar has suffered a fair share of injuries since joining Santos for the Campeonato Paulista earlier this year, but the star forward remains happy at the club and is not interested in returning to Europe. On that scenario, all signs point to both parties extending this deal for, at least, 12 more months.
