Despite recovering from injury and returning to club football, Neymar is not playing for Brazil this year. He remains on the sidelines for the World Cup qualifiers during the last international break of the year. However, another star Vinicius Junior has recovered from his injury. The Real Madrid star missed the qualifiers last month with a neck injury. Moreover, Endrik is left out.
Brazil is fourth in the South American qualifiers with 16 points. They are 6 points behind Argentina at the top. Their first match is on November 14, against Venezuela. Will host Uruguay after five days.
