"Neymar will be training tomorrow individually and on Monday he's going to be training with the rest of the team. He will be available for the match against Scotland," he said.
If he plays in the clash against Scotland, it will then mark Neymar's first appearance for <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/fifa-world-cup-2026-carlo-ancelotti-optimistic-about-brazil-competitive-approach-against-haiti-23635913" rel="nofollow">Brazil</a> since October 2023. Earlier, he sustained a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during the World Cup qualifier match against Uruguay.
The match against Scotland could also help him achieve a new milestone in international football. The tournament will be his fourth FIFA World Cup.
