Neymar angry at being accidentally substituted in last match before Brazil announces World Cup squad
A fourth official error sent Neymar off during Santos’ 3-0 loss, with Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti set to announce his squad Monday.
- Referee Paulo Cesar Zanovelli forced Neymar off the field during Santos' 3-0 loss to Coritiba on Sunday following a substitution error, prematurely ending the striker's final appearance before the World Cup squad announcement.
- A clerical error listed Neymar instead of Gonzalo Escobar on the substitution board; after Neymar refused to leave, Zanovelli issued a yellow card, prompting the striker to show broadcasters the substitution sheet.
- "I didn't know I had been substituted," Neymar said, noting he was receiving treatment for a calf injury when the mistake occurred; Santos coach Cuca acknowledged the error was "serious" but did not cause the loss.
- Neymar, 34, recovering from an ACL injury since October 2023, aimed to impress coach Carlo Ancelotti during this match; reports suggest other players favor his inclusion in the Brazil squad.
- Brazil's confederation has not commented on the officiating incident at Neo Quimica Arena; Carlo Ancelotti announces the Brazil squad on Monday in Rio de Janeiro, leaving Neymar's World Cup fate uncertain.
