Brazil forward Neymar will miss the 2024 Copa America in the United States as he continues to recover from the serious knee injury that he suffered in October. “It’s too early,” Brazil’s team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar revealed. “There’s no point in skipping steps to recover sooner and taking unnecessary risks. Our expectation is that he will be prepared to return at the start of the 2024 season in Europe, which is August.”

Neymar tore the cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee during his country’s 2-0 loss to Uruguay in their World Cup qualifier on October 18. He underwent surgery two weeks later. This injury came just two months after he arrived at Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain.

The 2024 Copa America will take place from June 20 until July 14, just weeks before Neymar’s expected return from injury. The forward’s absence will be of grave concern to Brazil, given that he is the nation’s all-time top scorer with 79 goals in 129 appearances. Brazil find themselves in Group D, alongside Colombia, Paraguay, and the winner of the playoff between Costa Rica and Honduras.

Brazil’s national team is waiting with bated breath to find out the extent of a knee injury that Neymar suffered during training on Tuesday.

The star forward limped off of the field in a training session in his home country after feeling pain in his left knee.

The Paris Saint-Germain star went to the ground clutching his knee after feeling the discomfort. While he was able to leave training under his own power, he appeared to be in a lot of pain.

It’s been a rough week for the 27-year-old superstar, who was stripped of his captaincy for the Brazilian national team in favor of Daniel Alves before Copa America. Now, he will be forced to wait and hope that his latest knee scare won’t limit his participation in the South American tournament.

The flamboyant forward has scored an absurd 60 goals in 98 career games with his nation’s team. He is only 18 goals away from passing Pele’s record with Brazil and establishing himself as the best scorer in the history of his country’s team.

Despite his goal-scoring exploits, Neymar is still yet to win a single major tournament since debuting with Brazil in 2010.

His knee will have to heal on time if he wants to be ready to try for a title again when Brazil opens against June 14th against Bolivia.
