Santos star Neymar is working hard to regain peak physical condition after another injury forced him to miss the Brazilian national team’s call-up. The forward has been putting in intense gym sessions and even visiting urban football pitches to watch games and perhaps get in a kickabout himself — he shared a photo of this on his Instagram page.
Neymar reposted a photo from his friend, taken inside a football cage in the city. The friend captioned the image, “This duo has already scored several goals on urban pitches,” to which Neymar responded, “Lots of goals,” adding laughing emojis.
It’s important to note that Neymar was initially called up to the Brazilian national team for the first time in over a year and a half, after a long recovery from serious injuries.
He was thrilled about the chance to return to the national team, but another injury forced him to turn down the call-up. As a result, Neymar, like his friend Lionel Messi, will miss the highly anticipated Argentina vs. Brazil match on March 26.
