Santos forward Neymar finished his first full training session with Brazil on Sunday, clearing the way for a probable debut against Scotland on Wednesday in Miami Gardens. The 34‑year‑old missed the opening two matches, including the 3‑0 win over Haiti, after a right‑calf strain. He posted a grateful message on social media, thanking God for his recovery, and coach Dorival Jr. said the group feels complete.

Brazil sit atop Group C with four points, level with Morocco, while Scotland trails with three. Neymar, Brazil’s all‑time top scorer with 79 goals in 129 caps, returns as a vital attacking option. Flamengo midfielder Lucas Paquetá hailed the comeback, saying the veteran’s experience and knack for decisive moments could tilt the next match in the upcoming clash.

With the tournament entering its second round, Neymar’s availability gives Brazil a stronger chance to capture a first World Cup since 2002. Paquetá reminded teammates this may be the Brazilian star’s final opportunity for glory, urging the squad to translate collective pride into results. Brazil will seek to extend its lead ahead of their decisive group fixture.
