PNN Staff Report

After a long absence, Neymar Jr. may return to the Brazil national team. He has been included in coach Carlo Ancelotti’s preliminary list, but must pass a critical assessment to secure a place in the final squad.

The final squad will be announced on Monday (March 16). If selected, Neymar could play in a key friendly match against France. Having returned to his childhood club Santos after injuries, Neymar’s performance there will be closely monitored by Ancelotti.

Neymar has played 128 international matches for Brazil, scoring 79 goals, making him the nation’s all-time top scorer. His return is significant ahead of the upcoming World Cup preparation match against France in Massachusetts, USA.
