Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti says Neymar is expected to return from a right calf injury for Brazil’s final World Cup Group C match against Scotland. Multiple reports state that Neymar, 34, has been sidelined for Brazil’s opening two matches, and he missed the team’s 3-0 win over Haiti. Ancelotti indicates Neymar is progressing through the recovery process with a plan that includes individual training first, followed by training with the squad closer to the match. Reports also note that Neymar would be available for Brazil when the group stage concludes against Scotland in Miami Gardens, Florida. While Neymar’s status is described as a boost for Brazil, one report adds that Brazil faces uncertainty over another player, Raphinha, who has a hamstring issue, after the Haiti match improved Brazil’s prospects for moving on from the group stage. Neymar’s international scoring record is cited in some accounts, underscoring his potential impact if he plays.
