Brazil national team head coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that forward Neymar will be available for the Group C match against Scotland in the third round. The game is scheduled for Thursday, June 25, with kickoff at 22:00 UTC.
“Neymar can play, he has been training excellently and is ready. I am very pleased with him,” Ancelotti said, as reported by insider Fabrizio Romano on the social platform X.
Neymar missed Brazil’s first two matches at the 2026 World Cup due to a right calf muscle injury sustained on May 17 while playing for Santos. In recent years, his career has been overshadowed by frequent injuries, leading many to doubt the future of the once most expensive footballer in the world.
