The injury of Brazilian star Neymar Junior has generated all kinds of reactions in the world of football in favor of his health. The player, who plays for Al Hilal in Arabia, suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee, something that will keep him out of the field for around six or eight months.

Napoli’s controversial proposal
As a result of Neymar’s injury, the president of Napoli took the opportunity to spark controversy and criticized the obligation established by Fifa to release players who are called up to their national teams.
“32-year-old footballers should not have to play for national teams. The club should have the option of not loaning players or not sending them to friendlies. “If I pay 50 million and he comes back injured… Think regarding Neymar,” he said.
De Laurentis assured this with arguments, since the Napoli squad is under 32 years of age. The only ones who are above this range are Juan Jesús, who has not appeared in a call for his national team since 2014, and the Portuguese midfielder Mário Rui, who has not played for his country since September 2022.
If this proposal is evaluated, the Colombian National Team would be greatly affected, since in the Lorenzo era, the combination of experience and youth has been part of the process.
Players like Cuadrado (35 years old), James (32), Vargas (34) and others would be left out of the calls, all with the aim of avoiding this type of injuries.
