FIFA World Cup: Brazilian national team coach Dorival Junior has urged patience from fans and the media as star forward Neymar continues his recovery from a serious knee injury, which has kept him out of action since October last year.

The 31-year-old Al-Hilal forward is still absent from Brazil's squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Peru in October, with Dorival suggesting that Neymar’s return to competitive football could be delayed until 2025.
