Brazilian star Neymar Jr suffered a big setback to his hopes of playing in the side's first match in the FIFA World Cup 2026, to be played in the USA, Mexico, and Canada from June 11, as he has been ruled out of the upcoming international friendly matches.

Brazil are set to play Panama in Brasília on Sunday and will take the field for their second warmup match against Egypt on June 5, and the country's all-time leading scorer is likely to miss both the friendlies.
