"Santos" and Brazil national team striker Neymar has been included in the extended list of 55 players called up to prepare for the 2026 World Cup with the national team.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to "Globo".
The 34-year-old striker's participation in the tournament remains uncertain. To be included in the final squad of 26 players, he must demonstrate his physical fitness during the preparation phase. National team coach Carlo Ancelotti is monitoring the player's recovery and physical condition, but has not officially called up Neymar for international matches since his appointment.
According to the source, inclusion in the preliminary list does not guarantee Neymar a place in the final squad. The decision on his participation in the World Cup will be based on an assessment of his physical fitness in the coming weeks.
