🚨💣 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: Carlo Ancelotti wants to give Neymar minutes against Scotland, with the Brazilian now considered fit and available. 🇧🇷 After Raphinha’s injury, Ancelotti believes Neymar could step into the XI and perform a role similar to the one Raphinha has been playing. There are still internal discussions over whether Rayan would be a better option on the wing, and the final decision will depend on Neymar’s physical condition closer to kick-off. However, Ancelotti is confident Neymar is capable of filling that role. 👀
