Neymar trains fully as Brazil prepare for Scotland

Neymar back in full training ahead of Scotland decider

Neymar is ready. He trained at full intensity on Tuesday, sprinting flat out and earning applause from Casemiro (1). The calf injury that kept him out of the group stage so far is behind him. "Está pronto?", is he ready?, Globo asked. The footage says yes (1).

Ancelotti hides his hand for Wednesday

No one outside the camp knows the XI. Carlo Ancelotti ran his final session in New Jersey with Alisson back in goal but kept the outfield setup secret (2). Raphinha is out injured and Ancelotti tested Luiz Henrique and Rayan as replacements (2). Neymar could make his World Cup debut against Scotland, Martinelli said his teammate has been training at an elite level (2). The match is Wednesday.

Brazil 3–0 Haiti, top of the group

Your team beat Haiti 3–0 to go top of Group C on goal difference (1). Clean sheet, three goals, job done. Scotland are up next and they have already said they are relishing a shot at Brazil (2). Ancelotti's side have not lost in the group stage.

Scotland want the scalp

Scotland won their opener and are highly motivated for this one (2). Brazilian media have been restless, griping that the team lacks the old attacking swagger, especially when compared to Messi's Argentina (2). A win on Wednesday would quiet a lot of that noise.

Final training done

The squad broke protocol before the Haiti match by taking team photos with everyone, not just the starters, a show of unity that has carried into the Scotland buildup (2). Final session is in the books. Everything now rides on Ancelotti's lineup card.
