Kilian Mbappe, the forward of the Spanish football team "Real Madrid" and the French national team, said that he hopes that Neymar, the forward of "Santos", will return to the Brazilian national team. The 34-year-old football player was not included in the final squad for test matches with France and Croatia.
Idman.Biz reports that the French striker said this in a statement to "Globo".
"Neymar is Neymar. The World Cup is for world stars and he will definitely be there. I can't imagine a World Cup without Neymar, but I'm not going to argue with Ancelotti," Mbappe said.
Earlier, it was reported that Neymar disappointed the Brazilian Football Federation and his chances of going to the World Cup were minimal. In the current 2026 season, Neymar has played five games in all tournaments, scored three goals and made two assists.
