Paris Saint Germain striker Neymar, the world’s most expensive footballer, will not play for Brazil at the Tokyo Olympics, but veteran Daniel Alves did make the squad announced Thursday.
Neymar’s PSG teammate Marquinhos, who also landed a gold medal in Rio five years ago, is another name not on coach Andre Jardine’s list.
Former Barcelona star Alves, now with Sao Paulo, missed the ongoing Copa America owing to a knee injury.
Jardine is hoping his experienced defender will be fit in time to take on 2016 beaten finalists Germany on July 22.
Two French-based players who will compete in Japan are Bruno Guimaraes of Lyon and Marseille new signing Gerson. (AFP)
