Neymar's return to action for Brazil will be delayed yet longer after the forward was ruled out of his country's squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers on Friday due to a thigh injury.

Neymar's justification for missing a semifinal with Santos was criticized because he was seen at Carnival last week.

Neymar did not feature for Santos in Sunday's 2-1 semifinal defeat at Corinthians because of ongoing "discomfort" in his left thigh.

For the first time in nearly two years, Neymar is back in the Brazil squad. However, what impact could the 33-year-old superstar have on Dorival Júnior's team?

Janusz Michallik talks about Neymar's call up to the Brazil national team following his return to Santos.

Neymar was called up by Brazil for the first time in 17 months after a lengthy spell out with an ACL injury.

Barcelona sporting director Deco has played down the chances of re-signing Neymar, saying it is not the moment for the club to be thinking about bringing the Brazilian back.

Neymar attempted to reassure fans that he is fine despite asking to be substituted during Santos' 2-0 win against Bragantino on Sunday.

Neymar showed he still has plenty of magic left after a long injury layoff by scoring from a corner while being jeered by opposing fans.

Neymar, Memphis Depay and Thiago Silva are among the leading Brazilian footballers protesting against using artificial turf for league matches instead of natural grass.
