Brazil prepares to face Haiti without Neymar at World Cup
Summary

Brazil is set to play Haiti in their second group stage match of the 2026 World Cup on Saturday morning in Philadelphia. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti will again be without star player Neymar, who is sidelined due to injury. Neymar missed Brazil's opening match, a 1-1 draw against Morocco, after sustaining an injury shortly after joining the national team. He has returned to training but has not been deemed fit for selection against Haiti. Reports indicate there is hope he may be available for the next match against Scotland on June 24.
