Neymarâs chances of making Brazilâs World Cup squad have taken a hit in recent months after he was left out of Carlo Ancelottiâs latest call-up.
The Italian manager has not completely closed the door, but multiple reports suggest the former Barcelona forward remains unlikely to feature in the final squad.

During the second half of Santosâ clash with Atletico Mineiro, Neymar produced a one-touch pass that immediately stood out as a reminder of his unique quality.
With a single touch, he created a clear chance inside the box, but Gabriel Barbosa failed to anticipate the move and could not convert the opportunity.
The play highlighted Neymarâs ability to decide matches in seconds, reinforcing why many fans still expect him to be part of Brazilâs World Cup plans.
At the same time, his potential inclusion remains controversial, with opinion in Brazil split over whether his talent outweighs recent inconsistencies.
Despite the flash of brilliance, Neymarâs overall performance was not particularly good.
He registered five shots without hitting the target and lost possession 24 times during the match.
The forward also completed just two of six dribble attempts, underlining the work still required to force his way back into contention.
