This was the final test for Neymar’s ankle after Tite assured a press conference that he will play against South Korea, but declined to reveal whether he will do so as a starter or from the substitute bench.
The Brazilian coach stated that he “wants to go out with the best”, but that the decision whether Neymar is ready or not rests with the medical department.
He also trained with the Danilo group, who will play as an alternate band on the left due to the loss of Alex Sandro, who has not yet recovered from a muscle problem, and Alex Telles, who will return to his club’s discipline, Sevilla, a knee injury.
