So you expected him to be playing in the copa America and also play in the Olympics at the same time abi?

Better for him.He need to rest before next season.

He already won an Olympic gold medal, it's not compulsory he participates

This guy has served his nation more than those going about snapping pictures with failed governors and planning to build football academy in another country.

Neymar can't be everywhere but I trust Ronaldo he must be included oo

dis Neymar don dey ugly ooo

I know Fraud Pessi will play all of them bcus he's badly in need of a international trophy to measure up to the GOAT C.Ronaldo, but as always he'll fail and his deluded fans will blame Higuain

Op you no wello, him bee engine abi

Hmmm...... he should be left out... too much theatrics. Brazil has a whole lot of talented players that can take other teams by surprise. Too much video to study and plan for well known players.

Na normal thing



Imaging if Nigeria qualified we would have won the gold medal again



All our best players today are under 23


Kelechi


Osimhen


Ndidi


Etc

Part of the reason why he is not in this squad is because he is playing at the Copa America.

Dem no fit kill the camel for him owner nah.
Camel body deserves some rest or else..........

The tournament is next month. He cannot play copa America then play the Olympics then return for pre season with psg. Man needs a little break before August
