Neymar warned he's not guaranteed return to Brazil national team as Dorival Junior outlines conditions for injured Al-Hilal superstar

Neymar has been out of action with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and required surgery last October. The 32-year-old initially hoped he would still have a chance of playing at the 2024 Copa America, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/neymar-ruled-out-copa-america-2024-brazil-team-doctor-outlines-risk-al-hilal-superstar-recovery-acl-surgery/blteeec2dda2cdc2c1a" target="_blank">he was ruled out by the team doctor</a>. The Selecao boss has now said Neymar will have to prove that he is fit and "focused" before he will be called up again.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Dorival said: "It is one of the main projects. Neymar is a very important player. He is well aware of that. He is one of the greatest players in world football. Our hope is that he recovers physically. He has a place [in the squad] for everything he has accomplished in the national team, but he needs to be confident, calm, balanced and, above all, focused. He will be part of the process as long as he is fully recovered."

WHAT DORIVAL SAID

Brazil will face England and Spain in international friendlies next month and will have to make do without star forward Neymar. They are also without Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker, Matheus Cunha and Joao Pedro for those matches.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Neymar will continue his recovery at Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, who signed him from PSG in an £86m deal last summer. The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-neymar-fans-brazil-superstar-retire-overweight-al-hilal-training-acl-injury/blt08f76b37c66bf856" target="_blank">accused of being overweight on his return to training with the club</a>, and it is still not known when he will be ready to feature in a competitive setting again.
