Rodrygo Emphasizes Neymar's Importance for Brazil's 2026 World Cup Hopes

The Real Madrid forward also expresses disappointment over Ballon d'Or shortlist omission despite a strong season.

Rodrygo believes Neymar's fitness is crucial for Brazil's success in the 2026 World Cup.
Neymar is in the final stages of recovery from a serious knee injury sustained in 2023.
Brazil recently ended a three-match losing streak in World Cup qualifiers with Rodrygo scoring the decisive goal against Ecuador.
Rodrygo voiced frustration at being left off the Ballon d'Or shortlist, citing his versatility as a potential reason.
Despite the snub, Rodrygo remains a key player for both Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team.
