He was injured and will be out for 3 weeks, Ancelotti gives an epic response to Neymar

Neymar-Ancelotti

Despite a second-degree injury, Neymar will continue to be part of the 26-man Brazil squad for this summer's World Cup, confirmed coach Carlo Ancelotti during a press conference.

The Italian coach was faced with a question regarding the Brazilian striker's physical condition and whether he would have called him up if he had been aware of the injury earlier.

" If my grandfather had wheels, he would be a car ," Ancelotti replied humorously, causing laughter among the journalists present.

The Brazil coach then gave an update on Neymar's condition, expressing optimism about his return to the field.

" We expect Neymar to be present for the match against Morocco. If that doesn't happen, then he will be ready for the next match ," Ancelotti declared.

Thus, Brazil does not anticipate making any changes to the roster, while the technical staff remains confident that one of the team's main stars will recover in time to make his contribution during the tournament.
