Carlo Ancelotti hoped to closely assess Neymar during Santos’ Brazilian league match against Mirassol, but the plan did not unfold as expected.
The Brazilian club decided to rest its star player, leaving the Brazil coach without the opportunity to observe him in action.
Neymar had been pre-selected for the Seleção’s March friendlies against France and Croatia, and Ancelotti wanted to evaluate his physical condition before confirming his place in the final squad.
The decision from Santos surprised the Brazilian Football Confederation and the national team staff. After more than twelve days of preparation, Neymar only completed physical work and did not take part in tactical training sessions. As a result, his call-up now appears less certain, with the upcoming match against Corinthians likely to become the final opportunity for Ancelotti to judge whether the 34-year-old forward is ready to return to international duty.
