What is Neymar’s position? Ancelotti has been confirmed in the World Cup squad

The Brazilian Confederation is preparing to send FIFA the expanded list of 55 players for the World Cup on May 11.

According to the Brazilian “Globo” network, the list includes the presence of Estevao (Chelsea) and Neymar da Silva (Santos), with the possibility of making emergency changes in case of worsening injuries.

Brazil’s technical staff have included Estevao on the list, although he is currently undergoing a treatment program, as there is optimism about his recovery for the first stages of the World Cup, while monitoring his condition in anticipation of a later substitution.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti intends to include a name Neymar He is included in this list, despite doubts about being in the final list of 26 football players, which will be announced on the 18th of the same month.

The coach has hinted at the possibility of calling up the 34-year-old star if he sees he can regain his fitness in the run-up to the World Cup, but there are still doubts about the move in the corridors of Brazil’s federation.

The Brazilian network explains that the absence of Real Madrid’s Eder Militao and Rodrigo has been permanently confirmed due to injuries that prevent them from joining the tournament, forcing the technical staff to be cautious and wait until the end of the weekend to lose new names.

FIFA regulations allow injured players to be replaced by others from an extended list, a procedure that could be used in Estevao’s case if he is unable to recover, as FIFA requires a replacement to be registered among the 55 names in advance.
