Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has officially confirmed that Neymar Jr. will be available for selection for Brazil's final Group C match against Scotland.
The 34-year-old forward has been sidelined since May 17, when he suffered a Grade 2 calf strain while playing for his club, Santos. His recovery has kept him out of Brazil's opening two matches—a 1-1 draw against Morocco and a commanding 3-0 victory over Haiti.
Key Updates on the Comeback:
- Training Schedule: Neymar is set to train individually on Saturday before rejoining the full squad for training on Monday.
- Strategic Boost: His return arrives at a critical moment for the Seleção. Following the injury concerns surrounding winger Raphinha, who was forced off with a suspected hamstring issue against Haiti, Neymar’s availability provides much-needed experience and creative depth for the knockout stage push.
- Match Context: Brazil currently sits at the top of Group C with four points. The match against Scotland, scheduled for Wednesday in Miami, will be decisive for final group standings as Brazil looks to cement their position for the Round of 32.
