Neymar has been an integral part of the Brazil national football team for quite a few years now and needless to say, has established himself as one of the best players in modern-day football. But injuries have been a big part of the star forward's career and they have not allowed him to flourish the way he would have loved to. Having made his debut for the Brazil national football team back in 2010, Neymar has earned 128 caps for the former world champions in which he scored 79 goals. Neymar last played for Brazil in their 0-2 defeat to Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier last year when he had to unfortunately leave the stadium on crutches after injuring his left knee. Fans might wonder if he will be in action in the Paraguay vs Brazil match and in this article, we shall explore just that. Paraguay vs Brazil, FIFA World Cup 2026 CONMEBOL Qualifiers Live Streaming and Match Time in IST: How to Watch Free Live Telecast of PAR vs BRA on TV and Online Stream Details of Football Match in India?

Will Neymar Play in Brazil vs Ecuador FIFA World Cup 2026 CONMEBOL Qualifiers Match?

As talked about earlier, Neymar injured his left knee in a World Cup qualifying match back in 2023 and has not featured for the national team since then. The 32-year-old also was subsequently ruled out of Copa America 2024. Fans have been anxiously waiting for his return to action but it seems that they will need to wait more with Neymar not available to play this game. The Al-Hilal forward was not included in the squad for the FIFA World Cup 2026 CONMEBOL qualifiers and will need more time to recover from his injury.

While Neymar's absence would be a big miss, the Brazil national football team has a number of talented players, especially forwards who could fill in. The Real Madrid duo of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo will be crucial for Brazil's attack in this match, with the latter aiming to maintain his goal-scoring form.
