World Cup 2026: Ancelotti speaks on Neymar playing Brazil’s final group game

Brazil head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has insisted that Neymar will be called up for his side’s final group game against Scotland.

Neymar has been recovering from a calf injury he sustained before the World Cup started.

The Santos forward missed Brazil’s first two games against Morocco and Haiti.

Recall that Brazil played a 1-1 draw with Morocco and defeated Haiti 3-0 in the early hours of today.

Speaking after Brazil defeated Haiti, Ancelotti said of Neymar at his post-match interview, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano, “Neymar will train individually tomorrow, then Sunday back training with the team and then called up against Scotland.”

Neymar is Brazil’s all-time top scorer in the national team so far with 79 goals.
