The former Paris Saint-Germain striker is making waves again in Brazil.

We will have to wait two more months to know if Neymar will participate in the World Cup in North America, but the information from the beginning of the week suggests the best for the Brazilian star. The top scorer in the history of the Seleçao (79 goals) was in fact pre-summoned by Carlo Ancelotti for the gathering which will take place at the end of March.

If this first step results in a summons, Brazil will therefore be able to rely on Neymar
for his preparation matches for the World Cup against the France team (March 26) then against Croatia a few days later (April 1). Great news for the Brazilian people and other Seleçao players, the majority of whom expressed their support for the man who is considered an icon in the history of the national team.

Neymar on his way back

After multiple visits to the infirmary, Neymar made a remarkable return with his club Santos two weeks ago. Since his induction, Carlo Ancelotti has publicly implied that the star will not receive any preferential treatment. “ He is undoubtedly the most talented Brazilian player. He had a small physical problem and recovered fairly quickly. But I want him to be really good to be able to play. He will be able to participate in the World Cup if he is physically well. From a technical point of view, there is no discussion. His goal should be to be ready in June,” explained the Italian technician in an interview with L’Équipe. Absent from the selection since October 18, 2023, Ney is well on his way back. His attacking colleagues, like Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Raphinha and Endrick have all expressed their wish to play alongside him.
