Ancelotti Confirms Neymar Will Start Against Norway in World Cup Round of 16
Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Neymar is fully fit and set to feature from the start as Brazil take on Norway in the World Cup Round of 16 at MetLife Stadium. Brazil have never beaten Norway in four meetings and will be eager to break that streak against a side led by Martin Ødegaard and Erling Haaland. Neymar returned to action off the bench against Scotland following a grade-two calf injury and has impressed in training alongside Vinícius Jr. The coach praised his humility and quality within the squad. Selection headaches remain as Lucas Paquetá is out with a hamstring issue and Raphinha is a doubt. Ancelotti will have to finalise his attacking lineup before kick-off.
