Neymar’s future with Brazil’s national team is uncertain, leading him to take serious steps regarding his health.

Details: Wagner Frederico reports that the 34-year-old forward will miss Santos’ next two games. The first absence is due to a suspension; however, the main reason involves a long-term plan between Neymar and the club to limit his playtime to crucial matches only.

Neymar is particularly concerned about getting injured right before the World Cup squad announcement by Brazil’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, on May 18. He knows that even a small injury in training or during a league match could jeopardize his chances of participating in the tournament.

Every step he takes is now under close observation by the medical team, and his physical activity has been significantly reduced.
