Neymar’s aspirations for the upcoming World Cup appear to have been effectively dashed. Reports indicate that the 34-year-old Santos winger has been removed from the Brazil national team following an altercation involving Robinho’s son.
Details: Head coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed significant dissatisfaction with Neymar’s behavior, leading to the decision to exclude him from consideration for the 2026 World Cup squad. This incident has raised concerns within the national team regarding player conduct.
In light of this development, Neymar’s representatives have urged the player to reach out to Ancelotti promptly in an attempt to clarify the situation and possibly restore his place in the final squad.
So far this season, Neymar has participated in 11 matches for Santos, during which he has scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists. Previously, Ancelotti emphasized that Neymar’s selection for the national team would depend on his fitness level.
