Brazil: Neymar set to be called up against France

Neymar's performances with Santos in the new season have been watched with great interest. This could pave the way for his return to the Brazilian national team.

With just a few months to go before the 2026 World Cup, Neymar is still dreaming of a comeback with the Seleção, which he hasn’t featured for in some time. On Wednesday, Brazilian daily UOL reported that Carlo Ancelotti is likely to call up Neymar for the matches against France and Croatia.

Insiders within the Seleção reveal that Neymar Jr. stands a solid chance of convincing Ancelotti—especially if he racks up more game time, given the recent injuries to Rodrygo and Estevao. Neymar is now on the verge of a sensational comeback.
