The 31-year-old ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee while playing for Brazil in a 2026 World Cup qualifier last month.
Recovery from an ACL rupture or tear can be eight to 10 months.
Rodrigo Lasmar, Brazil's team doctor, said Neymar is fully committed to regaining full fitness.

"He has demonstrated, from the first moment, that he is following what we are proposing," Lasmar told a news conference in Sao Paulo on Monday.
Neymar was taken off on a stretcher in tears during Brazil's 2-0 defeat by Uruguay after landing awkwardly following a challenge in the first half.

Brazil forward Neymar is recovering well from the knee surgery he had after suffering an injury last month but there is still no forecast of when he will be able to return to action, national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said on Monday. If you don't know what is an ACL
is one of the ligaments in the knee joint. A ligament is a tough, flexible band of tissue that holds bones and cartilage together. The ACL connects the bottom of the thighbone (femur) to the top of the shinbone (tibia).

Neymar right now is on crutches but very soon he will recover slowly and can play again.
