Brazil, Ancelotti: “Neymar will be called up if he’s healthy in May”

WASHINGTON (USA) (ITALPRESS) – The door remains open. On the sidelines of the World Cup draw in Washington, which assigned Brazil to a group with Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland, Carlo Ancelotti couldn’t avoid yet another question about Neymar, who played a key role in Santos’s survival in recent matches despite a torn meniscus.

“I understand the huge interest in Neymar, and I want to be clear,” said the Brazilian coach. “It’s December, and the World Cup will be played in June. When I announce the squad list in May, if Neymar deserves to play, if he’s fit, and if he’s better than or at the same level as the others, he’ll be in the team. Period. I don’t owe anyone.”
