Neymar withdraws from Brazil squad due to hamstring injury
Neymar has been left out of Brazil's squad for important World Cup qualifying matches this March. After recovering from a serious knee injury, he seemed ready to return to the national team. However, just days before the games against Colombia and Argentina, he had to withdraw due to a hamstring injury. This is not the first time Neymar has faced criticism for missing matches in March. Fans are frustrated as he has repeatedly been absent around this time over the years, often with injuries. Most recently, he injured his thigh in a club match and was seen celebrating at Rio's Carnival, which upset supporters who expected him to be fit for soccer. Neymar’s recent history shows a pattern of absences in March. From his days at Barcelona to his time at Paris Saint-Germain, he has often missed games during this month due to injuries or suspensions. His relationship with his sister, whose birthday falls on March 11, has also caught fans' attention as they recall his past injuries around this date. Despite these setbacks, Neymar had been seen as a key player to help Brazil's struggling team. For now, new talent like 18-year-old Endrick will take his place as Brazil seeks to improve its standings in South American qualifying.
