The legendary Brazilian forward Neymar has seen his chances of playing in the upcoming World Cup further diminished.

The 34-year-old player was not included in Brazil's lineup for the friendly matches in March against France and Croatia.

This is the final preparation stage before the upcoming football fiesta.

Neymar has not been called up to the national team since 2023.

Recently, Brazilian coach Carlo Ancelotti and the local football federation leaders have been disturbed by the veteran's ongoing health problems, his fatigue on the field, and the celebrity's decision to miss the "Santos" match for the chance to rest further.
