Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that star forward Neymar will play in the upcoming World Cup match against Scotland. The striker missed Brazil’s opening game against Morocco while managing a right calf injury.
Ancelotti previously stated Neymar would only return when fully fit. Today's clearance signals the player is ready to rejoin active duty. Brazil currently sits in Group C, and Neymar’s availability is expected to significantly impact their group stage performance.
Market participants are now awaiting official lineup confirmation. A starting berth for Neymar would further validate his recovery status ahead of the critical fixture.
