Brazil national team head coach Tite said Neymar will play against South Korea, if he practices “okay” on Sunday.
Brazil national team head coach Tite said Neymar will play against South Korea in Monday’s last 16 World Cup match, if he practices “okay” on Sunday. “He will practice this afternoon, and if everything is okay, he will play,” Tite said at a news conference on Sunday. “Neymar being on the lineup depends on the medical department clearing that.” Neymar sprained his right ankle in his side’s opening World Cup match – a 2-0 win over Serbia - on November 24.
Brazil won one and lost one match in Neymar’s absence in Qatar. The five-time champion faces South Korea at Stadium 974 in Doha on Monday.
