August 24 According to Brazilian media Globo, Neymar's thigh was edema and was expected to be eliminated from the national team again.

Neymar was previously selected for the Brazilian national team's primary list, and the final list will be announced next Monday, but Neymar is still not expected to return.

Nemar was discomfort during Thursday's training and was therefore missing on Friday and Saturday's training. Santos informed the Brazilian Football Association of Neymar about the thigh edema, but according to Globo, the Brazilian Football Association said that it did not receive a formal written notice from the club.

Santos is expected to schedule a break early next week and may return in the match against Fruminense on Sunday, the 31st, which will be evaluated before the game.

Nemar left the field due to discomfort midway on Thursday's training and only conducted strength training for the next two days and said he still felt a little pain when walking. However, the preliminary judgment is not a big problem.

Based on this situation, Santos contacted the Brazilian team's medical department and reported on Neymar's thigh edema. The national team can choose to recruit Neymar and conduct inspections in person, but it is unlikely at present.

Nemar has not played for the national team since he suffered an ACL torn against Uruguay on October 17, 2023. If this time has not been called, Neymar will miss the national team for two consecutive years.
