Brazil is set to play its final group stage fixture against Scotland on Wednesday where a victory would confirm them a knockout berth. They are currently tied with Morocco at four points but are sitting atop thanks to the better goal difference.
Head coach Carlo Ancelotti has included the 34-year-old Neymar Jr in the matchday squad for the clash against Scotland, despite not being named in the starting XI.
Neymar has yet to play a single minute in the tournament, with the team opting for a cautious approach as he continues his recovery from injury.
Ancelotti provided an update on Neymar's fitness, revealing that the Brazilian star has been training well and is ready to play.
If Neymar takes the field, it would mark his fourth FIFA World Cup appearance, having played in the last three consecutive editions.
