Neymar expected to return from right calf injury and play for Brazil in World Cup against Scotland
PHILADELPHIA: Neymar is expected to return from a right calf injury and play for Brazil in its final World Cup group match, coach Carlo Ancelotti said Friday night. Neymar missed Brazil’s first two games of the tournament, including Friday’s 3-0 win over Haiti. Ancelotti said Neymar would go through individual training on Saturday, train with the team on Monday and “will be available” for Brazil when it closes Group C play against Scotland on Wednesday in Miami Gardens, Florida. Neymar is Brazil’s career scoring leader with 79 goals in 129 international appearances. The 34-year-old midfielder has yet to practice in full sessions with the team since reporting to Brazil’s squad while nursing the calf injury. Looking to play in his fourth World Cup, Neymar had tests on his calf last Monday to determine the progress of the injury that he sustained while playing for Brazilian club Santos on May 17. There was widespread debate in Brazil over whether Neymar, whose first World Cup was on home soil in 2014, should have been called up for the tournament.

Vinicius Junior added a third before the break. Brazil play Scotland in their final Group C game in Miami on June 24. Haiti’s first World Cup appearance since 1974 will end after they play Morocco in Atlanta. The Selecao currently have the edge over Morocco for top spot on goal difference.
