Scotland include 43-year-old goalkeeper Craig Gordon in World Cup squad
GLASGOW: Scotland’s 43-year-old goalkeeper Craig Gordon is going to the World Cup alongside teammates who were not born when he made his national-team debut in 2004. Scotland coach Steve Clarke announced a 26-man squad Tuesday for the country’s first World Cup in 28 years, with Gordon among three goalkeepers who combined to play in just four league games for their clubs all season. Gordon would be the second-oldest player in the World Cup’s 96-year history if he gets on the field in North America. Egypt goalkeeper Essam El Hadary was 45 when he played at the 2018 World Cup. Gordon played three times in January for Heart of Midlothian, the long-time Scottish Premiership leader that were edged for the title Saturday by Celtic, but has been dealing with shoulder injuries.

RIO DE JANEIRO: Neymar has been named in Brazil’s squad for next month’s World Cup, manager Carlo Ancelotti said on Monday, handing the forward a chance to return to international soccer’s biggest stage after an injury-disrupted cycle. The 34-year-old, Brazil’s all-time leading scorer, comes back following a prolonged absence due to a series of injuries that kept him out for much of the qualifying campaign, as the five-time champions pursue a record-extending sixth title. As dozens of journalists gathered at Rio de Janeiro’s Museum of Tomorrow for a ceremony featuring music acts and celebrity guests, all eyes were on Ancelotti’s decision on whether to include Neymar in the squad.
