Home Sport Neymar return for Brazil against South Korea a 'possibility', says team doctor 04-12-2022 11:17 AM Ammon News - Neymar could return for Brazil's World Cup last 16 match against South Korea on Monday, the team's doctor said after Friday's 1-0 defeat by Cameroon. Neymar missed Brazil's last two games after sustaining an ankle injury in the opening 2-0 win over Serbia, and there have been major doubts over whether the Paris Saint-Germain forward would be fit before the quarter-finals, should Brazil advance. Danilo also picked up an ankle injury against Serbia. Meanwhile, Alex Sandro suffered a hip injury in the game against Switzerland, and Alex Telles and Gabriel Jesus could also join the injury list after complaining of pain after Friday's game, where Brazil manager Tite fielded a second-string side. Providing some updates on the players' progress, team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said: "Regarding Neymar and Alex Sandro, we think we have time on our hands and there is a possibility. "Let's wait what their transition will be. They have still not started to practice with the ball and it's something they will do tomorrow. It will be important to see how they respond to this new style, so depending on that, we will make a call. "Danilo has been evolving very positively and today he did intense work with the ball and has adapted functionally very positively. The expectation is tomorrow he will be able to train normally with all players. "Let's observe what happens and if everything is OK, we have very high expectations that he will be available for the next match." The team doctor added that Telles and Jesus will undergo tests on Saturday.
