Brazil’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has a huge decision to make after Real Madrid’s Rodrygo who suffered a severe knee ligament rupture that has definitively ruled him out for the remainder of the season.
The Brazilian national team will play against France and Croatia later this month, and it looks like Ancelotti is ready to reintroduce Neymar as he has been included in the pre-list before a final decision is made on his involvement.
With just a few months to go before the 2026 World Cup, Neymar is still dreaming of a comeback with the Seleção after thinking about retiring in recent weeks.
However, with the World Cup on the horizon and Rodrygo now missing, the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star is ready to break back into the side so he can lead his nation to glory in the US, Mexico and Canada.
Neymar, who recently returned to action after an injury, now plays for Santos in Brazil and many fans argue that the 34 year old should be included in the squad as long as he can stay fit.
The winger has played in three World Cups with Brazil, but hasn't featured for the national team since October 2023. His comeback would be sensational and welcomed by many football fans keen to see so many iconic players at the tournament this summer.
