Carlo Ancelotti’s son and assistant with the Brazil national team delivered an encouraging message for Neymar ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

With Neymar being linked to FC Cincinnati, questions arise over how much the MLS side would have to invest to bring in the Santos star.

Neymar Jr. continues to pursue a spot with Brazil for the 2026 World Cup, shining with Santos after his meniscus surgery. However, the veteran has gone a step further, as he has reportedly undergone another procedure, aiming to convince Carlo Ancelotti of his return.

Reports now suggest Neymar could face a record-breaking suspension ranging from five to 12 matches, a development that could severely impact his World Cup ambitions.

While Neymar continues to fight for his place, Carlo Ancelotti’s stance appears far more decisive than many anticipated.

Neymar continues to push for a place in the 2026 World Cup conversation, delivering 12 goal contributions in his last 10 games for Santos as he tries to impress Carlo Ancelotti.

Kylian Mbappé has trained with numerous stars at Real Madrid, AS Monaco, PSG, and France. Surprisingly, the Frenchman did not name Neymar Jr. as the best player he has trained with. Instead, he chose Lionel Messi, sharing an intriguing anecdote.

Despite being in great form with Santos, the chances of Neymar participating in the 2026 World Cup are noticeably decreasing. Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly considering calling up Endrick or two other stars, complicating matters for the veteran.

The pressure surrounding the forward has escalated as Brazil’s preparations for the 2026 World Cup remain clouded by doubt.

Neymar has suffered yet another blow in his chances to be in the 2026 World Cup as head coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted that Brazil's final squad is "quite defined."

His recent exclusion from friendlies against France and Croatia raised questions, but the forward has made it clear that he remains committed to proving his fitness.

While also addressing Vinicius Junior's role in Brazil, Kylian Mbappe candidly stated that he "doesn't see a World Cup without Neymar."

The debate surrounding Neymar’s future continues to dominate Brazil’s World Cup preparations, and Carlo Ancelotti’s recent decision not to include the Santos forward in the March friendlies has only increased the scrutiny.

Neymar’s absence was one of the topics Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti addressed.

After being excluded for the March friendlies, Brazil legend Romario backed Neymar's inclusion in the 2026 World Cup squad while also taking a jab to head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
