Neymar is back in the Brazilian national team. The striker, who suffered an injury to his right ankle in the first round of the World Cup, is scheduled to face South Korea, this Monday (5), for the round of 16.
Right-back Danilo also returns to the team, another who had an ankle injury in Brazil’s debut. He will play at left back, however, as the position’s players, Alex Sandro and Alex Telles, are both injured.
The right wing will be occupied by defender Éder Militão, who already played in the sector in the triumph over Switzerland, last week. Daniel Alves, who is in the position, will be an option on the bench at stadium 974, in Doha.
The lineup defined by coach Tite for Brazil’s clash with South Korea is as follows: Alisson; Éder Militão, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva and Danilo; Casemiro, Paquetá and Neymar; Raphinha, Richarlison and Vinicius Junior.
