Neymar is likely to miss Brazil’s second match at the 2026 World Cup, with reports saying he may also sit out the game against Haiti.
The forward was already absent for Brazil’s opening fixture against Morocco because of his physical condition, and concerns have now grown that he will not be available for the second group match as well.
Brazil drew their first game with Morocco and need a positive result against Haiti to keep their hopes of finishing top of the group and reaching the knockout stage in good shape.
The national team’s medical staff are still monitoring Neymar, with a final decision on his availability expected in the coming days.
Neymar arrived at the tournament with high expectations but has yet to play a minute at the competition, a situation that has become a major concern for Brazil supporters.
