Neymar has been named in Brazil’s matchday squad for their final World Cup group stage game against Scotland at Miami Stadium.
The 34-year-old winger hasn’t played for Seleção since 17th of October 2023, when he suffered a combined anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus injury in a World Cup qualifying defeat to Uruguay.
The incident kept the Santos player out of action for club and country until his return 368 days later, before he was called up to represent Brazil in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Neymar is yet to feature at this year’s tournament for Brazil, missing out on their opening two group games against Morocco and Haiti as he hadn’t quite recovered in time to play a part in their bid for a seventh triumph at the World Cup finals.
