It’s a “yes” that will relieve all Brazilians. Present at a press conference this Sunday before the shock against surprising South Korea (Monday, 8 p.m.), Tite confirmed the presence of Neymar during this round of 16. Asked by a journalist about the presence or absence of his PSG star, the Seleção coach replied “Yes”, without developing.
Victim of a sprained right ankle against Serbia ten days ago, the PSG player missed the other two group G matches against Switzerland and Cameroon. On Saturday, the Brazilian magician had resumed training on the lawn of the Grand Hamad Stadium, participating in exercises with the ball before playing an opposition with his teammates. He then followed up with striking sessions in front of goal where he seemed rather comfortable with his right ankle.
According to the Brazilian press, Neymar will participate in the last training session of his selection this Sunday afternoon and if he feels no discomfort in his ankle, he will be lined up against the Taeguk Warriors. On his Twitter account, the Parisian had explained “that he felt good”.
