Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar confirmed that Neymar will not recover from his injury in time to attend the 2024 Copa America.
In October 2023, Neymar ruptured his knee ligament during Brazil’s away trip to Uruguay in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America.
The Brazilian medical team initially determined that Neymar would have to stay away from the field for at least 8 months. However, after the player goes on the operating table and undergoes surgery, Neymar’s recovery process will take longer.
For a player with a history of injuries like Neymar, doctors do not want his career to be at risk. Age is also another reason why it is difficult for Neymar to recover after ligament surgery. He will celebrate his 32nd birthday in February next year.
According to Brazil’s doctor, Rodrigo Lasmar, Neymar will not recover from his injury in time to attend Copa America 2024, a tournament taking place in June 2024 in the US. Neymar is being treated in his home country of Brazil since being injured on October 17. This is the second time in 2023 and the 6th time in the last 6 seasons that Neymar has had to take a long break from competition. The player born in 1992 regularly posts videos of him practicing recovery on his personal Instagram page.
The Brazilian team is going through a difficult time when they are in poor form in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with consecutive losses. Therefore, not many people appreciate the Selecao’s competitiveness in Copa America 2024.
