📹 Ready for a call-up, Neymar tells Ancelotti he’s available | OneFootball

After scoring two goals in Santos' 3-1 victory over Juventude on Monday (4th), Neymar spoke about a possible return to the Brazilian National Team.

After all, members of Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff were present at MorumBIS to monitor Neymar's recovery, who has played five consecutive games, something that hadn't happened since 2022.

"Happy to score two goals, to win again, which is the most important, and I think it's only going to get better for our team. Obviously, we made many mistakes today that we can't afford to make, but we need to work to improve every day."

"Everyone knows my football. I'm available. Regardless of anything, I'm an athlete, I still feel good, so it's up to them."

Since October 2023, when he suffered a severe left knee injury, requiring surgery and sidelining him for a year, Neymar has not played for the Brazilian National Team.

In 17 matches in the 2025 season for Santos, Neymar has six goals and three assists.

Brazil concludes its participation in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in September, with matches against Chile on the 4th at Maracanã, and against Bolivia on the 9th, away.

In third place with 25 points, the Brazilian National Team is already guaranteed a spot in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, as they can no longer be overtaken by Venezuela, which is in seventh place with 18 points.
