The Trio will be evaluated this weekend to find out if they have the conditions to play this Monday, in the round of 16 of the World Cup
THE The Brazilian team was defeated 1-0 by Cameroonlast Friday, but he won’t have much time to digest the negative score, having to deal with bigger problems, including the formation of the starting lineup that will face South Korea, next Monday, for the round of 16 of the Qatar World Cup🇧🇷 And a large part of this definition of the 11 starter in the knockout phase involves the recovery of the trio Neymar, Danilo and Alex Telles.
You come back closer and closer, but that depends on the ratings
After the match, doctor Rodrigo Lasmar brought a more optimistic view towards the trio. If before there was pessimism, now the thought is in the next few hours that Brazil has to face the South Koreans and this prevents them from being discarded.
– We still have 72 hours for the next game, we’re counting on the weather in our favour. We still have chances and we are waiting for how this transition will be – said Lasmar at the press conference after the defeat against the Cameroonians.
This Saturday will be a decisive day for the development of these cases. Danilo, who has more advanced recovery of his left ankle, is expected to train with the squad and has a good chance to play this Monday. Neymar and Alex Sandro will be trained with the ball, separated from the team, to understand how they will react.
As discovered by TO THROW!, the possibility of a return of Ney and the left-back is rather remote for the round of 16, but is assessed as “very likely” for the quarter-finals, if Brazil overcome South Korea and advance to the World Cup. However, everything will depend on everyone’s reaction to this Saturday and Sunday’s training sessions.
New embezzlements and greater haste for restitutions
Tite has a new problem to pick for the Brazil national team, as Alex Telles, who has become the starting left-back, appears to have suffered a significant right knee injury and is expected to be unable to play any time soon. He will undergo imaging tests on Saturday, which should indicate his next steps. Meanwhile, the coach needs a winger, given that Alex Sandro is still in the recovery phase and has no guarantees of return.
In this way, Danilo can be an essential factor in this equation. As a full-back he can be used on the left in an impromptu manner, while Militão or Daniel Alves could take over on the right. If Danilo can’t return, Tite will have to find another solution. Marquinhos was placed on the bench against Cameroon, but the coach would hardly give up the player in defence.
Neymar to fill the vacancy which does not yet have a replacement
Although there was a lot of talk before the World Cup that the Brazilian team was less dependent on Neymar, the last two games have proved otherwise. With the #10 injured, Tite tested two possibilities that ultimately didn’t work out. One with Paquetá centralized, with Casemiro and Fred behind in the starting lineup. And another with Rodrygo, also with a couple of defensive midfielders behind.
The impression is left that for the best functioning of the team, as happened in a good part of the duel with Serbia, Neymar is a fundamental element, given that there is no “emulator” of the Brazilian champion, only he seems to know how to play this role for the rotation of the “wheel”. So the recovery of him as soon as possible is something that the coaching staff has to wait a lot and needs answers to think about what the other alternative will be.
And now?
The Brazilian team will now face South Korea, next Monday, at 4pm (Brasilia time), for the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar. There will be only two training sessions this weekend before we take to the field again for the tournament.
