Tite: "Neymar is going to play against Korea"

MADRID, 4 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Brazil coach, Adenor Leonardo 'Tite', confirmed that Neymar is recovered to play this Monday the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 against South Korea.

The first question in the previous press conference was about whether Neymar will be on the pitch at Estadio 974, although it was for Thiago Silva. The central defender looked at Tite and the coach responded with a "yes". "Neymar will train this afternoon, and if he does, he will play the game. The decision depends on the specific training. If he is well he will be on the field, so we will see the other 10," he said.

Neymar himself, author of 75 goals in 122 international matches, stated on his Twitter account on Saturday that he was "fine", therefore recovered after the sprain he suffered in his debut against Serbia.
