Neymar, Brazil, Santos, Carlo Ancelotti
21 May 2026
Neymar is unlikely to feature in Brazil’s final World Cup warm-up matches as concerns grow over a calf problem. The Santos forward will be assessed when the squad gathers at Granja Comary on 27 May.
Santos have described the issue as mild, but Brazil’s internal information suggests the injury may require more caution. Carlo Ancelotti plans to apply the same medical standards to Neymar as every other player before deciding his role.
