Brasilia: After eight months, superstar Neymar Jr. has been included in the Brazil national team. Neymar will be back in the squad for the World Cup qualifiers starting next month. Brazil will face Bolivia on September 8 and Peru four days later. After the World Cup in Qatar, Neymar did not play for Brazil in the friendly matches earlier this year.
Brazil coach Fernando Denis said that it will be difficult to find a replacement for Neymar. Neymar, who left the French club PSG, is preparing to play in the Saudi Pro League. Neymar’s first match is against Al Fayha tonight at 11.30 PM IST. Al Hilal is seventh and Al Feiha is eighth in the points table.
Neymar replaces Lucas Paqueta in midfield. Lucas Paqueta has been left out of the Brazil squad as he faces an investigation into betting allegations. It is alleged that Paqueta tried to bet while playing in the English club West Ham.
