The head coach of the Brazil national team, Carlo Ancelotti, does not intend to call up Santos striker Neymar for the 2026 World Cup squad.
Medianews.az, citing Publika.az, reports that journalist Andre Loffredo provided the information.
According to him, Ancelotti is not considering calling up Neymar.
"This is not in his plans, nor does he have the desire to do so. He does not understand the reason behind all the fuss surrounding Neymar.
The calls for his inclusion in the squad are justified. This relates to his past performances over the years and the expectation of seeing Neymar, who has been absent from the field for a long time. However, Ancelotti evaluates recent performances, and Neymar’s performance during this period does not bring him closer to the final squad," the journalist stated.
