Brazil’s national team will have Neymar available for next Wednesday’s (24) clash against Scotland.

The assurance came from head coach Carlo Ancelotti after Brazil’s win over Haiti.

"Neymar will train individually tomorrow (Saturday) and then, on Monday, he will be with the team and will be ready for the game against Scotland," he said at a press conference.

The No. 10 did not even travel with the Brazilian delegation to Philadelphia, the host city for the match against the Caribbean side.

He remained in New Jersey to continue recovering from a right calf injury.

Neymar has not played since May 17, when he initially suffered swelling in the area while playing for Santos.

He was called up with that issue and, later, a lesion was confirmed that would require up to three weeks without ball training.
