RIO DE JANEIRO — Neymar is back in action after more than a year out due to a torn ACL but he won't be playing in Brazil's last two World Cup qualifiers this year. Brazil coach Dorival Júnior did not include the 32-year-old striker in his squad for matches at Venezuela on Nov. 14 and against Uruguay five days later. Neymar returned for Saudi Arabia club Al-Hilal on Oct. 21 in the AFC Champions League Elite.
