Neymar poised for Brazil comeback against Scotland in Miami

Brazilian forward Neymar is expected to be available as a substitute for the national team’s Group C match against Scotland on June 24 in Miami. After nearly three years away from the senior squad due to knee and calf injuries, he has resumed training and could be introduced by coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is considering using him in a more advanced role near the opponent’s goal.

The encounter is seen as a key test for Brazil’s preparations for the 2026 World Cup, with the team aiming to secure the group’s top spot. Analysts note that Neymar’s involvement, even in limited minutes, could provide decisive attacking firepower while his positioning will be managed to avoid excessive defensive duties.
