Neymar is a very important player. He is well aware of that. He is one of the greatest players in world football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur hope is that he recovers physically. He has a place [in the squad] for everything he has accomplished in the national team, but he needs to be confident, calm, balanced and, above all, focused.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe will be part of the process as long as he is fully recovered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brazil need a boost in the South American World Cup qualifiers. They are sixth with just two wins and three losses in six games.
