Real reason I didn’t include Neymar in Brazil squad – Ancelotti
Brazil’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has addressed the absence of Neymar from his latest squad selection.
On Monday, Ancelotti unveiled the roster for upcoming international friendlies against France and Croatia later this month.
“Neymar is not at 100%,” Ancelotti said, as reported by ESPN. He emphasized that Neymar’s potential return to the squad hinges on his physical condition. “If he can be at 100% physically, he can be there. Neymar could be at the World Cup. He has to keep working, playing, showcasing his qualities, and maintaining good physical condition.”
The 31-year-old Neymar, a former star of FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, last represented Brazil in 2023.
