Neymar has been confirmed in Brazil’s squad for the World Cup match against Scotland, according to ESPN Brasil. The forward was sidelined during the first two matches of the tournament due to a right calf injury. Brazil’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti had indicated Neymar was expected to return to individual training before rejoining the team.
This development boosts expectations regarding Neymar’s participation, aligning with a high confidence level in prediction markets, where odds for his return rest at 90.5%.
Observers are watching training sessions closely, as any further activity could solidify his match readiness. Official announcements from Ancelotti or the Brazilian Football Confederation will also significantly shape perceptions regarding Neymar’s playing status.
