Brazil will be without Neymar for their World Cup opener against Morocco as he recovers from a calf injury. Coach Carlo Ancelotti said the forward may miss the entire group stage, though hopes remain for a return later in the tournament.

Brazil forward Neymar has hinted that the 2026 FIFA World Cup could be the final tournament of his international career. The Santos star called it “The Last Dance,” evoking NBA legend Michael Jordan’s iconic farewell season.

According to Xinhua, the 33-year-old, sidelined from Brazil's squad since October 2023 due to a knee injury, has been replaced by teenage Real Madrid forward Endrick. Expressing his disappointment on Instagram, Neymar wrote, "I was so close to returning, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to wear the most important shirt in the world for now."
