Following Brazil's 3-0 victory over Haiti in the second round of the World Cup group stage, head coach Carlo Ancelotti shared a significant update regarding Neymar. The Italian manager assured fans that the star forward will be available for the team's next match against Scotland.
«Yes, Neymar will train individually tomorrow, Saturday, and then on Monday he will be with the team and will be prepared for the game against Scotland,» Ancelotti stated during the post-match press conference.
The return of the forward is a major boost for the Seleção, especially following the injury to Raphinha, who was substituted in the first half of the win over Haiti after feeling discomfort in his left hamstring. Ancelotti mentioned that the medical staff is still evaluating the Barcelona player following further examinations.
Fans reacted with excitement to the news, as the potential return of the team's primary playmaker after his injury layoff provides a significant lift to Brazil's prospects in the tournament.
