The Brazil forward missed two group matches after injuring his right ankle in the team's opening win over Serbia. He was back training for the first time on Saturday. Tite said left back Alex Sandro is out because of a hip injury, but right back Danilo will be available after recovering from a right ankle injury.
South Korea advanced after a surprise win over Portugal in the team's last group game, making it to the last 16 for the first time in 12 years. This will be the first time Brazil and South Korea meet in an official match, with the Brazilians winning six of their seven friendlies, including 5-1 in June. South Korea’s only win came in 1999.
Hwang was expected to be in the starting lineup again against Brazil after missing the team’s first two games because of a hamstring injury.
