Neymar returns to the Brazilian national team for the 2026 World Cup. After missing the opening games due to injury, the striker has resumed full training with the squad and is expected to be available for the final group match against Scotland.

According to Carlo Ancelotti's staff, the 34-year-old participated in his first complete training session with the team since his injury. This marks a crucial step confirming his gradual comeback to competition. His return comes at a pivotal moment, as Brazil battles for qualification and looks to secure the top spot in their group.

Neymar's experience could prove to be a major asset for the team. However, his physical condition remains under close watch, and the staff is unlikely to take any risks if he isn't fully fit.
