Neymar, the 34-year-old forward, may make his first appearance at this year’s World Cup in Brazil’s match against Scotland on Wednesday. He has been out with a calf injury since more than five weeks ago.
Brazil’s World Cup Journey
Brazil is currently leading Group C with four points, ahead of Morocco on goal difference. Scotland is third with three points. Brazil needs a convincing display against Scotland to boost their chances of coming top.
Neymar last played for Brazil in 2023, when he suffered a serious knee injury against Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier. Since then, he has been sidelined for more than 650 days due to various injuries.
Teammate Gabriel Martinelli said Neymar looked ready to play. ‘He’s performing at a very high level and you could see the intensity in today’s training session,’ Martinelli said.
