Doha: Good news for Brazil as they prepare to play their pre-quarter match against South Korea on Monday. Coach Tite announced in a press conference that superstar Neymar will play in the match. Captain Thiago Silva also confirmed this. Neymar has missed the last two games after injuring his ankle in his opening match against Serbia.
Previously, Neymar returned from injury during the Copa America in Brazil. In the last World Cup, injury was the villain in the quarterfinals against Colombia. The problem is that the opponents act harder towards the player who sows danger in the forward movement with quick and finishing skills. Video of Serbian players rushing to knock the player down as the ball reaches his feet has gone viral on social media.
Neymar, who has scored 75 goals for his country, can join the legendary Pelé if he can score two more goals. Gabriel Jesus, who was supposed to make up for the defeat of forward Neymar, injured his knee in the match against Cameroon. The Brazilian Football Federation has announced that the player will no longer play in this World Cup. Full-backs Danilo and Alex Sandro were also injured.
