Ancelotti considering calling up Neymar for friendlies

Winger Rodrygo has suffered a very serious injury and will not play again this season. This could open the door for Neymar to feature for the national team.

Details: According to UOL Esporte, Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti is considering calling up Neymar for the friendly matches scheduled for March. Neymar’s chances have increased following Rodrygo’s injury setback.

We recently reported that Brazilian winger Rodrygo will be sidelined for an extended period due to a cruciate ligament rupture.

It is also worth noting that Ancelotti has already selected 18 players for Brazil’s squad for the 2026 World Cup. Only eight spots remain available.

Reminder: Neymar recently returned to action and marked his comeback by finding the net in his very first game after recovering from injury.
