Neymar is set to make a comeback for Brazil’s final World Cup Group C game against Scotland, as confirmed by winger Gabriel Martinelli. After recovering from a calf injury that kept him out since May, Neymar has rejoined Brazil’s training sessions and is enthusiastic about playing. Brazil’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has assured Neymar’s inclusion in the squad for the upcoming match in Miami, although he is likely to start from the bench.
The 34-year-old forward, Neymar, Brazil’s top scorer with 79 goals in 128 international appearances, has been out of the national team due to a knee injury since October 2023. Neymar has hinted that the FIFA World Cup 2026 might mark the end of his illustrious career. Brazil currently leads Group C with four points, tied with Morocco but ahead on goal difference. Securing a spot in the knockout stage as group leaders is a key goal for the team, both for logistical convenience and enhancing their preparation.
Stressing the importance of finishing on top in the group, the team aims to win the upcoming match to secure first place and avoid traveling to Mexico for the next stage. The players prefer staying in Miami due to the excellent facilities available, including top-notch training centers and accommodations, which contribute to their overall preparation and unity.
