Carlo Ancelotti has left the door open for Neymar to return to Brazil's squad for next year's World Cup if the forward proves his fitness. Neymar, Brazil's record goalscorer, has not been selected since 2023 and has featured 13 times for Santos this season, scoring three league goals while creating 29 chances and providing no assists in the league.
