"I need to choose players who are at 100%," Ancelotti stated. "It's not just Neymar, it could be Vinicius. If Vinicius is at 90%, I'll call up another player who is at 100% because it's a team with a very high level of competition, especially in attack."

Ancelotti also highlighted the team's attacking options, saying "In attack, we have many very good players."

Neymar has not been included in any of the squads announced by Ancelotti since he took over as manager last summer, missing a total of eight matches.

Ancelotti expressed his confidence in Neymar's abilities, stating, "I think he has great talent. He was unlucky to get injured during the time we were together. He couldn't prepare to be in good physical shape because of the injuries. It's November now... Neymar is at the same level as everyone else, considering that Neymar has already demonstrated extraordinary talent."
