The Brazil national football team begins their dress rehearsal for the FIFA World Cup 2026 with a home friendly against Panama. The Selecao remains in a complicated situation, with the star forward Neymar Jr picking up a last-minute injury at the training camp.
Carlo Ancelotti, however, hopes to get his player back before the World Cup kicks off in mid-June. Brazil will miss some of their first-team defenders in the international friendly against Panama on Sunday, May 31, at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhaes remain out of contention after playing the Champions League final in Budapest.
