The head coach of the Brazil national team, Carlo Ancelotti, confirmed that he hopes Neymar will return to the national team before the 2026 World Cup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The coach noted that he has spoken with the player and is aware of how important Neymar is for the team. The player currently has enough time to recover his health and maintain his form in a way that suits him.
