Neymar Has Two Months to Show He Is Ready for World Cup, Says Ancelotti

Ancelotti said Neymar must prove he is fully fit and ready as Brazil weighs the forward for its 26-man World Cup squad.

  • Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti gave Neymar two months to prove his fitness for this year's World Cup, with the forward remaining under evaluation by Ancelotti and the Brazilian Football Confederation.
  • Since suffering a serious knee injury in October 2023, Neymar has struggled to maintain consistency; Brazil's all-time leading scorer with 79 goals, the 34-year-old has been working to regain sharpness since returning to Santos last year.

  • Preliminary talks are reportedly underway regarding a potential move to MLS side Cincinnati FC by 2027, a transfer that could signal the final chapter of Neymar's professional career.
  • Brazil begins its World Cup campaign on June 13 at New Jersey Stadium; the tournament runs from June 11 to July 19 with Brazil in Group C alongside Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland.
