AL RAYYAN, Qatar — Neymar, who injured his right ankle in Brazil‘s opening match of the World Cup, will train Sunday evening and his availability for the team’s round-of-16 match Monday against South Korea will then be determined by their medical staff, coach Tite said.
“If he practices OK, he will be playing tomorrow,” Tite told a news conference via an interpreter.

Tite confirmed that Danilo, who also injured an ankle in Brazil’s 2-0 win against Serbia, will be available to play. Neither was available to play in Brazil’s 1-0 win against Switzerland or their 1-0 loss to Cameroon.
Like Neymar, Alex Sandro will train Sunday prior to determining whether he will feature against South Korea.
