Times of India·Thursday, 25 June 2026
Neymar came back from injury as a substitute in Brazil's 3-0 win over Scotland at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, becoming only the fourth Brazilian to appear at four World Cups. He is also just the second player after Pelé to wear Brazil's No. 10 shirt at four editions of the tournament. Brazil topped Group C unbeaten.
Why It Matters
Neymar's return is one of the most-watched storylines of the World Cup — his fitness and form could define how far Brazil go in the knockouts.
