Neymar Expected to Return From Right Calf Injury and Play for Brazil in World Cup Against Scotland
- Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed on Friday that forward Neymar will be available for Wednesday's match against Scotland, resuming individual training on Saturday and joining full team sessions on Monday.
- A Grade II calf injury sustained while playing for Santos on May 17 sidelined the forward, forcing him to miss Brazil's opening draw against Morocco and Friday's 3-0 victory over Haiti.
- Neymar is utilizing the Columbia Park Training Facility in New Jersey to optimize his final recovery phase, which the Brazilian Football Confederation is overseeing as part of his rehabilitation program.
- With 79 goals in 129 international appearances, the veteran remains vital for his technical skill, and Ancelotti emphasized the example he sets for younger players on Brazil's roster.
- Since October 2023, Neymar has spent roughly 700 days sidelined due to injuries, making his potential return against Scotland a crucial step before the tournament's knockout rounds begin.
