Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Neymar will be available for Brazil’s next FIFA World Cup match against Scotland after recovering from injury.
Following Brazil’s victory over Haiti, the Italian coach delivered the news Brazilian fans had been eagerly waiting for, confirming the return of the team’s biggest star.
“Yes, Neymar will be ready for the match against Scotland,” Ancelotti said.
The Brazilian forward had missed Brazil’s recent matches due to physical issues, but he has now made a full recovery and is back at the team’s disposal.
Neymar’s return comes at a crucial moment for Brazil, who are aiming to secure qualification for the FIFA World Cup knockout stage as quickly as possible.
The 34-year-old’s experience and quality are expected to provide a major boost to Ancelotti’s side, which is gaining more momentum with every match in this World Cup campaign.
With Brazil closing in on a place in the knockout rounds, Neymar’s comeback adds another powerful weapon to the team’s attacking lineup ahead of the highly anticipated clash against Scotland.
