Neymar could return to Brazil’s national team under coach Carlo Ancelotti. After a long injury break, fans wonder if he is fit and ready. With big matches coming, Brazil might need their star back on the field soon.
Neymar’s Long Battle with Injuries
Neymar has always been one of Brazil’s biggest football stars. But his career has been full of injuries. Many fans now call him the “sorrow of Brazil” because he often gets hurt when the team needs him most. Even though he has scored the most goals in Brazil’s history—more than legend Pelé—those goals have not led to major trophies for the national team.
In the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Brazil had high hopes, but the team was knocked out early. Neymar was heartbroken. Now, the 2026 World Cup could be his final chance to bring glory to Brazil. But to do that, Neymar must stay healthy and fit—which is his biggest challenge.
Ancelotti Takes Over and Eyes Big Changes
Carlo Ancelotti, one of the most respected coaches in the world, is set to become the head coach of the Brazil national team. He wants to rebuild the team and prepare for the 2026 World Cup with fresh ideas and strong players. On May 26, Ancelotti will announce his first squad for the World Cup qualifiers.
The big question is: will Neymar be part of that list?
Neymar Training Hard for Santos Comeback
Before joining the Brazil team again, Neymar must first return to playing for his club Santos. Neymar has been working very hard to recover from a thigh injury. In a video posted on social media, fans could see Neymar sweating and practicing hard. He looked sharp, confident, and full of energy.
Brazilian media outlet ‘Globo’ reported that Neymar is now training with Santos again and seems to be recovering well. Santos will play a big Copa do Brasil match against CRB on Friday morning. Neymar might not start the match, but he could be on the bench and play a few minutes. This would be his first game back after the injury.
The first match between Santos and CRB ended in a 1-1 draw. Now, Santos wants Neymar back badly to help win the second leg. If Neymar returns in this match, it will also help him return to the Brazil team.
Hopes of a Brazil Return Under Ancelotti
Carlo Ancelotti is said to be open to including Neymar in his team. Reports suggest that Neymar is already in the coach’s thoughts for the main squad. However, Neymar needs to prove that he can stay fit and play at a high level again.
In an Instagram post, Neymar shared a video of himself practicing shots from the midfield. He looked focused and determined, showing that he is serious about returning to top form.
The next few weeks are very important for Neymar. If he can play well for Santos and stay injury-free, he will have a big chance to wear the Brazil jersey again. Fans are hopeful, and Neymar seems to believe in himself too.
Conclusion: Can Neymar Shine One Last Time?
Neymar’s journey back to the Brazil national team is not easy. Injuries have slowed him down many times before. But now, under a new coach like Ancelotti and with one final World Cup in sight, Neymar has one last chance to prove himself. If he can return fit and strong, Brazil might just get back their superstar in time for a new chapter of glory.
