The head coach of the Brazil national team, Carlo Ancelotti, announced the squad for the upcoming qualification matches for the 2026 World Cup. The forward from "Santos" Neymar is absent from the list of players.
"Neymar did not make the squad because he just returned from injury. I spoke with him, and we agreed on this. I trust Neymar; I am counting on him, we want him to come to the World Cup in the best shape,” Ancelotti is quoted by ESPN Brazil.
