But young star on board

Brazil will have to do without Neymar for even longer

The comeback of Brazil's soccer star Neymar is a long time coming.

After suffering a torn cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee in mid-October last year, the professional from Saudi club Al-Hilal was not included by team boss Dorival Jr. for Brazil's September matches in the World Cup qualifiers at home against Ecuador (September 6) and in Paraguay (10).

Future Chelsea player Estevao Willian, who currently plays for Palmeiras, is included for the first time.
