Chelsea owner Abramovich to check on Brazil star Neymar

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will have scouts check on Santos star Neymar this week.

Neymar should start at the Emirates for Brazil against Scotland, seven months after shunning a move from Santos to Chelsea.

Still keen, Abramovich will be watching closely after sending his personal talent-spotter Piet de Visser to watch the skilful 19-year-old forward top-score as Brazil won the South American Under 20 Championship in Peru this winter.

Tottenham's Sandro is also likely to get a run-out after grabbing global attention by bossing the midfield against AC Milan in the Champions League last 16.
