What happened: Speaking to the press after Brazil's 3-0 win over Haiti, Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Neymar will be fit to play in the side's upcoming fixture against Scotland. The coach delivered the update directly following the result.

Why it matters: The announcement matters because it ends recent uncertainty over Neymar's availability, after Ancelotti had earlier ruled the forward out of Brazil's World Cup opener. Restoring Neymar gives Brazil back one of its most influential attacking options as the schedule intensifies.

What to watch: Watch whether Neymar starts or is eased in off the bench against Scotland, and how many minutes Ancelotti grants him in his return.
