The forward has not represented Brazil since suffering an injury in October 2023, during a match where Brazil lost 2-0 to Uruguay.
This year, Neymar participated in 12 matches for Santos, scoring five goals and providing three assists. However, he has missed several games, which could negatively impact his chances of being called up for the World Cup.
Additionally, Neymar recently had a confrontation with Robinho Jr during training, adding to the arguments against including him in the final squad.
Updates on the Preliminary List
Estêvão is also among those listed, although he is currently recovering from an injury.
On the other hand, center-back Éder Militão and forward Rodrygo are confirmed to miss the final selection.
