Neymar Earns Surprise Return to Brazil’s World Cup Squad After Three-Year Absence

Neymar, Brazil’s all-time top scorer, has been called back into the national team for the upcoming World Cup after nearly three years out. Coach Carlo Ancelotti based his decision on the forward’s recent fitness and form, noting that Neymar has shown consistent performances and improved physical condition throughout the year. The 34-year-old missed much of qualifying with a string of injuries but retains the same role and responsibilities as his teammates. Although he has not featured for Brazil since 2023 and faced questions over his club stints at Al-Hilal and Santos, Neymar’s experience could prove vital as the five-time champions chase a sixth title.
