After more than a year, five-star Brazil has recalled the 33-year-old former core Neymar to participate in this month's World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina.

After a disappointing time in the Saudi league, Neymar returned to the Brazilian league to perform well and thus returned to the Brazilian national team

Neymar suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in a World Cup qualifier against Uruguay in October 2023 and has not been back to his best.

After a disappointing performance in the Saudi league, Neymar returned to his childhood club Santos in January, scoring three goals and providing three assists in seven appearances, attracting the attention of Brazilian coach Dorivar.

Now, Neymar has finally secured a place in the national team, and when asked how much game time Neymar will have in the World Cup qualifiers, Dorivar replied: "It's a situation that needs to be evaluated. He has played 90 minutes in two games for Santos. "In some games, he was substituted at the last minute. His current form and performance will determine his playing time and we will evaluate his performance. ”

Neymar posted a video of himself watching the announced list and said: "It's nice to be back!" Neymar has scored 79 goals in 128 appearances for Brazil, breaking Pele's record of 77. On the same day, Brazil announced a new list of 23 people, and Antony and Oscar, who were previously selected for the primary list, fell to Sun Shan.
