Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti declined to confirm Neymar’s participation in the upcoming match against Scotland in their last Group C encounter at the FIFA World Cup 2026, despite revealing that the legendary striker is ready for selection following his recovery from a calf injury. After being gone from the national team for almost three years, Neymar rejoined Brazil’s World Cup roster, but he has not yet played in the competition. The 34-year-old continued his recovery while missing Brazil’s first two games, a 3-0 victory over Haiti and a 1-1 draw with Morocco.
