Brazilian forward Neymar has completed a full‑intensity training session, signalling his readiness to be considered for the national team’s third group‑stage match against Scotland at the 2026 World Cup. The 34‑year‑old missed the opening games against Morocco and Haiti due to a foot injury, but coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed he will join the squad for the upcoming fixture.
Ancelotti said, “Nejmar will do the final solo training on Saturday and will be in full competition for the match against Scotland on Sunday.” The return comes as Brazil also deals with a separate injury to winger Rafinha, making Neymar’s availability a potentially decisive factor for the team’s attacking strength.
If selected, Neymar could play a pivotal role in Brazil’s bid to advance, adding experience and firepower to a side already favored to win the tournament.
