Neymar’s injury problems have resulted in him missing his national team’s first two World Cup matches against Morocco and Haiti.

However, as Carlo Ancelotti noted and following a post by Fabrizio Romano, the Brazilian star appears fully ready to make his debut against Scotland (June 25, 1:00 a.m.) in the third match of Group C.
