The friendlies are scheduled for March 26 and March 31 and will serve as preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The upcoming matches are also important because they help the team evaluate players before deciding on the final squad for future competitions.
Meanwhile, Neymar continues working on his recovery and hopes to return to the national team once he regains his best form.
Does this decision mean Neymar will miss the World Cup?
Not necessarily. Ancelotti made it clear that Neymar could still be considered for the World Cup, but his chances will depend on his physical recovery and his performance in the coming months.
