Brazil FIFA World Cup Squad: It is good news for Neymar fans and even football fans to a certain extent, as the former FC Barcelona forward is looking all set to make a comeback to the Brazil squad for the FIFA World Cup.

The 34-year-old struck a goal for Santos in added time in the first half. The goal snapped Santos FC's winless streak. With the club battling a relegation battle in Brazil's Serie A, it was a crucial win for Santos, which also saw Adonis Frias score a goal in the 76th minute to win the clash by two goals. He has been in incredible form this season, which has led to fans calling for his inclusion in the Brazilian FIFA World Cup squad under Carlo Ancelotti.

Neymar has been in incredible touch in his last 17 games. The right-winger has scored 11 goals in this period while also providing four assists. Currently, the 34-year-old averages a goal contribution every 98 minutes in his last 17 games. Playing for his former team, Neymar has time and again shown up with brilliance to help them battle the relegation zone. In 15 games, Santos have collected 18 points with four wins and six draws. They are currently only one point off the 17th-placed Gremio.

Neymar in Brazil FIFA World Cup Preliminary Squad

Journalist Diogo Dantas of the O Globo newspaper reports that Neymar will be part of Brazil's preliminary 55-player World Cup team. The Brazilian's chances of being included in the World Cup teams, however, have been questionable thus far. Neymar must be healthy enough to be a member of the team, according to Carlo Ancelotti. On Monday, May 11, head coach Carlo Ancelotti will submit the 55 names. As he gets the national team ready to lead them in the World Cup, the head coach will make the final squad announcement on Monday, the 18th.
