Neymar has expressed his disappointment after being left out of Brazil's squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 warm-up matches.

The 34-year-old star forward questioned his omission, admitting he felt 'sad and upset' over the decision.

Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti announced the squad for warm-up matches against France and Croatia, citing concerns over Neymar's physical condition.

Neymar has struggled for rhythm since returning to Santos earlier this year, missing a club match due to muscle fatigue.

The forward has hinted that the upcoming World Cup could be his last opportunity, casting doubt on his long-term future with the national team.

Ancelotti has not completely shut the door on Neymar's return, stating that he can be selected if he's 100% fit.
