Neymar’s long-awaited return to Brazil’s national team is set to become a reality as he is named in the squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina.

After nearly 17 months sidelined due to a serious knee injury, the country’s all-time leading scorer is ready to reclaim his position on the pitch.

The star player last featured for Brazil in October 2023, when he suffered a torn ACL and meniscus during international duty.

Neymar’s absence has been felt deeply by fans and teammates alike, but his recent move back to Santos aims to help him regain his form after struggling at Al Hilal.

With a record of 79 goals in 128 appearances for Brazil and a strong desire to participate in the 2026 World Cup, Neymar’s comeback could be a critical turning point for the national team.

Neymar’s presence on the field promises to reinvigorate Brazil’s chances as they prepare for important matches ahead.
