- The Manchester United midfielder called fitness the deciding factor and said Neymar does not need to prove his talent.
- Ancelotti will reveal Brazil’s 26-player list on May 18 at the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio, leaving Neymar a short window to show he is ready.
- Recent reporting notes Neymar has missed two of Santos’ last three games and the club sits 16th, adding pressure to show consistent availability before the call-up.
