Neymar is set to be available for Carlo Ancelotti for Brazil's final group stage match at the World Cup. The Seleção will face Scotland on June 25th, and the Brazilian fan favorite could make his first appearance at the 2026 World Cup, having missed the first two games due to injury. Ancelotti himself revealed this after their convincing victory against Haiti last night.
"Neymar will train individually on Saturday, then rejoin the team for training on Sunday. He will be available for the match against Scotland," stated the Brazil national team coach.
The 34-year-old former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain player remained in New Jersey to train alone and did not travel with the squad to Philadelphia, where the Seleção played Haiti last night. He is recovering from a calf muscle injury in his right leg, sustained about a month ago. Against Scotland, Neymar hopes to make his first national team appearance since October 2023.
