Doha: Will injury be the villain for Brazil, who are preparing to go against Asian warhorses South Korea, who reached the last 16 with a huge coup? Neymar is yet to return after falling under a Serbian tackle in the first game of the Qatar World Cup. Many people have come back in the past few days, doubling the threat to the team who thought they could solve the void in the forward movement without difficulty.
Left-back Alex Telles, who was injured in the game against Cameroon, is uncertain. The player’s knee is injured. Full backs Danilo and Alex Sandro are also injured.
Gabriel Jesus, who was supposed to make up for Neymar’s loss in the forward, is also injured. The Brazilian Football Association has announced that the player who injured his knee in the game against Cameroon will not play again in this World Cup.
Tite fielded the team with nine changes in the last match of the group seeing injury as a big villain. The team lost the match in which all the prominent members of the first eleven who won against Switzerland were crying.
The other day, Tite said that the challenge is not enough time for the players to come back.
At the same time, Neymar and Alex Sandro have started training. The aim is to ensure that they can go against South Korea.
The assurance given by the doctor that Neymar’s condition is good will be a relief to the team.
At the same time, an injury to the front row could threaten the team’s future. Cameron made history with a win last day when he played second tier. Brazil lost to an African team for the first time in World Cup history. Veteran player Dani Alves says the defeat is a big lesson for the team.
Amid Neymar concerns, Brazil suffer two huge injury blows ahead of FIFA World Cup Round of 16 against South Korea
