Hello
Brazil team doctor Lasmar, who carried out the surgery, said the 31-year-old is not expected to be fit until August and they do not intend to take short cuts in the recovery process for him to play at the June 20-July 14 tournament in the US.
Neymar, who signed for Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal in August, left the pitch in tears on a stretcher after receiving treatment for several minutes and an MRI scan on Wednesday confirmed the injuries.
Brazil ended the match with no shots on target and suffered their first defeat in a World Cup qualifier since 2015 after going 37 games unbeaten.
The 31-year-old Neymar, who recently joined Saudi side Al-Hilal, bounced back after missing a penalty in the first half, scoring two goals in the 61st and 93rd minutes to become the country's all-time top scorer with 79 goals.
The reigning ISL champions will be making their second appearance in the continental championship when it kicks off in September and were drawn to face the Brazilian and the big-spending four-time champions in the group stages.
Al-Hilal coach Jesus expressed his surprise at Neymar's inclusion in the Brazil squad for two World Cup qualifiers next month.
Saudi Professional League (SPL) club Al-Hilal announced that Neymar had signed a deal until 2025.
There was no immediate comment from the Ligue 1 champions, owned by Qatar Sports Investments, but French newspaper L'Equipe said the deal could net 31-year-old Neymar 160 million euros ($175 million).
The luxury project violated rules regarding use and movement of fresh water sources, rock and sand, the local government said in a statement.
The Brazilian star has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
