"
I think Neymar and Danilo will come back, that's my opinion.
“Brazil coach, Tite remains optimistic about his two injured ankles in the victory against Serbia (2-0).
The PSG playmaker notably remained on the meadow for a good ten minutes after being injured in the right ankle.
Big sprain.
“
He was injured, I did not realize it, we did not have this information.
He tried to keep going until he couldn't play anymore.
He thought he could go on.
He played ten minutes with this injury.
It was a pretty rough fault, I did not see it
, ”assures the Brazilian technician this Sunday, at a press conference.
And to add:
I made a mistake because I did not replace Danilo.
Both gave what they could, beyond professionalism.
Neymar was injured, I didn't realize it.
He continued to play and we scored the first goal.
Danilo I could have replaced him earlier and I didn't.
I wish to acknowledge these two errors.
I spoke to both players about it.
»
It remains to be seen when Danilo and Neymar will be able to return to the pitch.
Not Monday (5 p.m.) against Switzerland.
It is already acted.
Maybe not against Cameroon either, in the third pool match.
"
I don't know if there is a calendar
", slips Marquinhos, also in a press conference the day before the match, noting that his teammate at PSG and in the selection was "
sad
" after Serbia but that he "
is going very well now
" and that he works "
24/24 to come back as soon as possible
".
"
Afterwards, I am not a doctor, recognizes Tite.
I cannot give details of the medical reports.
But the medical reports give me hope for both players.
We thought Danilo's injury was less serious, but it has changed.
“One thing is certain: Brazil is advancing with “
100% confidence
”, according to Marqui.
"
Sometimes in films, the supporting roles steal the show, this may be the case during the World
Cup," laughs Tite's assistant, Cesar Sampaio.
All of Brazil hopes for it with him.
