Brazil’s head coach Dorival Jr. has confirmed that superstar Neymar expressed his willingness to join the national team, but acknowledges the limitations imposed by his recent injury.
“Neymar made himself available to be here with us, but having played little minutes since the injury, we respect the decision of his club,” Dorival Jr. stated. This comment reflects the coach’s understanding of the importance of managing player fitness and workload, especially following Neymar’s recovery.
Looking ahead, Dorival Jr. reassured fans that the Brazilian squad is preparing for Neymar’s eventual return. “We will be ready for his return in the next call-up where he will be ready,” he added, indicating confidence in Neymar’s ability to reintegrate into the team when the time is right.
This approach illustrates a balanced perspective on national team commitments and club responsibilities, with both the coach and Neymar prioritizing the player’s health and readiness.
