Overview
- Video and photos from Brazil’s New Jersey training base show Neymar doing ball drills on Sunday, a visible step up from individual anti‑gravity and conditioning work.
- Head coach Carlo Ancelotti said Neymar would train individually then join full sessions and 'will be available' for the Scotland match, signalling the player is close to selection.
- ESPN Brasil reported Neymar was included on Brazil’s match squad list, though Brazil have not published a formal lineup and final selection remains contingent on return to full training.
- Seven senior players missed a precautionary training session for workload and recovery, which leaves several first‑choice options in doubt and will shape minutes management on matchday.
- Neymar’s recovery follows a late‑May diagnosis of a grade‑2 right calf strain that carried a two‑to‑three‑week timeline, and his return could change Brazil’s attack as they seek qualification from Group C.
