Brazil's national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said defender Danilo has shown positive signs of recovering from an ankle injury, while Neymar is racing against time to regain fitness ahead of facing South Korea in the World Cup round of 16.

Both Danilo and Neymar suffered ankle injuries during Brazil's 2-0 victory over Serbia in the opening match of Group G, which kept them away from the 1-0 victory over Switzerland, and the sudden loss against Cameroon with the same result.

Alex Sandro picked up a thigh injury against Switzerland, while Alex Telles and Gabriel Jesus could join the injured list, having complained of soreness following last night's game against Cameroon, with coach Tite fielding a line-up of substitutes.

In response to a question about the readiness of the injured to participate in the round of 16 match on Monday, he said, “With regard to Neymar and Alex Sandro, we believe that we have plenty of time, and there is a possibility for their participation. Let’s wait to find out their status.

They have not yet started training with the ball, it will be important to see how they respond to this new style, and based on that we will call them to the team.
