Brazilian ace missed the group stage matches against Cameroon and Switzerland due to injury

According to the Brazilian media, the World Cup in Qatar is over for two of their national team members - Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles. Both suffered injuries in the match against Cameroon, which Brazil lost 0:1, and for them the World Cup seems to be over. Both of them have the status of reserves with coach Tite, so their absences should not particularly disturb the team. Much more important today for the Brazilians was the condition of the first star of the team - Neymar.

Neymar left the match of the first round against Serbia ten minutes before the end, after the start of Nikola Milenkovic, and after the game a photo appeared showing a seriously swollen wrist of the Brazilian footballer. Because of this, he took a break for a few days, missed the duels with Switzerland and Cameroon, which affected the game of the first favorite for the trophy, and the question was whether he would be able to perform in the round of 16 against South Korea, on Monday at 20:00.

On Saturday evening, Neymar announced on his Twitter profile that he is ready for the upcoming obstacle on the way to the world throne.

"I feel good, I knew it would be like this".

He supported the good news with photos from training, so there is no doubt - Brazil will attack South Korea with their best player in the team. If there is no sensation, the South Americans will then meet with the better of the duel between Japan and Croatia, and in the semifinals with the Netherlands or their biggest rival, Argentina.
