Neymar out again: Lula jokes Brazil striker is doing 'remote work' for World Cup

Brazil’s World Cup 2026 preparations took another hit as Neymar remains sidelined with injury, forcing the Seleção to face Haiti in a must-win warm-up without their talisman. Neymar, Brazil’s all-time top scorer, has been ruled out of the upcoming friendly against Haiti due to a recurring injury, leaving Tite’s side to regroup without their most creative attacker. The match, scheduled for Tuesday in São Paulo, serves as a critical final test before the tournament, but the absence of the PSG forward shifts the team’s tactical approach.
