"I thought Neymar was just a topic in Brazil, but I see it's a global issue," Ancelotti said. "Fortunately, he recovered from his injury. Now he has six months to play."
"Neymar is on the list of players who could be at the World Cup. Now he has six months to make the final list. We just have to observe him and other players to avoid making mistakes in the final selection."
"The Brazilian Championship stops on December 7, then he can take a vacation, but then he'll have the Brazilian Championship again to show his quality and, obviously, his physical condition," he said."
Neymar has missed Brazil selection for two years due to persistent injuries, including an ACL tear in October 2023. He returned to Santos in January aiming to regain fitness but has suffered recurring muscular issues that limited appearances. He has scored three goals in 16 league matches while Santos battles relegation. He reacted angrily to a recent substitution, and Santos coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda defended him. Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti took charge in May and said Neymar remains under consideration for the 2026 World Cup but has six months to demonstrate fitness and form before final squad decisions.
