With Neymar recovered, Brazil faces South Korea in the round of 16
With the return of striker Neymar, Brazil faces South Korea, starting at 4 pm (EST) on Monday (5), at the 974 Stadium, in search of a place in the quarterfinals of the Qatar Cup.
The return of the number 10 to the Brazilian team is great news, after his absence in the victory over Serbia and the defeat to Cameroon due to a right ankle injury. The PSG (France) striker's confirmation came after the team's last training session, last Sunday (4).
Another important return confirmed by the coach was Danilo, who can be improvised on the left side, a position for which the players called are not available (Alex Telles was cut and Alex Sandro is still recovering from injury). Thus, the starting line-up should be: Alisson; Éder Militão, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva and Danilo; Casemiro, Lucas Paquetá and Neymar; Raphinha, Richarlison and Vinícius Júnior.
Brazil and South Korea have met on seven occasions in history, with six Brazilian wins and only one South Korean triumph.
