JAKARTA - Brazil's soccer star, Neymar, certainly cannot defend his team when appearing at the 2024 Copa America which will take place from June 20-14 July 2024 in the United States. Neymar's absence was none other than due to an injury that he had not recovered.
The news about Neymar's latest condition was shared by Brazilian team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar. He said the process of recovering the player's knee injury would take about nine months.
"It's too early, there's no point in skipping the steps to recover faster and taking unnecessary risks," Lasmar said in an interview with Radio 98 FM quoted from CBS Sports on Wednesday, December 20, 2023.
"Our hope is that he will be ready to return at the start of the 2024 season in Europe, namely in August," Lasmar added.
Previously, it was known that Neymar, who is now defending Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, suffered a knee injury while defending the Brazilian vs Uruguay national team in the 2026 World Cup Qualification, November 2023.
The injury to his left knee forced him to undergo surgery and go through a very long recovery process.

The decision of the team doctor who said Neymar had to be sidelined for nine months means that the chance to appear for the Brazilian national team in the 2024 Copa America was closed. Sadness was clearly felt by the 31-year-old player.
This was even revealed by Neymar in his latest social media upload. Through a video showing the recovery process, Neymar admitted that this situation made him cry sadly.
For one month crying and very painful. Keep going," Neymar wrote as video caption.
